Liam Cosgrave

Liam Cosgrave, who died yesterday at the venerable age of 97, was a kind man.

To observe the attention he gave to his wife in the final stages of her life was inspirational.

He regularly attended religious services in The Dominican Priory in Tallaght.

Over the years he got to know a number of Dominicans and would often speak with great warmth about the late Fr Jerome Toner.

He had a great sense of humour.  On one occasion after the financial crisis and politicians were in the doghouse after shaking his hand he suggested I go and straightaway wash it.
