Cyril Moran was a kind, quiet and inoffensive man.
While living in Sligo in the mid-1980s I knew Cyril from his visits to the Dominican church in the town.
He was regularly about the place. From what I can remember, he helped the late Brother Philip Kerrigan in 'church operations'. We knew each other to say hello and say kind words to each other. We might even have been friendly enough to pass the odd smart comment to one another.
On Sunday afternoon I discovered Cyril was the man, who had featured in news bulletins. He had been beaten up. And then later in the evening I heard on the news he had died.
Cyril Moran was murdered.
To see his photograph in today's newspaper, the photograph of a murdered man is simply shocking.
May God give him peace.
