Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the death of Conleth Cronin.
Con, as he was genrally known, was a young Dominican priest, still in his 20s.
He was killed on a Honda 50 returning from a football game in Tallaght. He played for the local Thomas Davis GAA Club.
Con could easily come across as a 'rough diamond' and yet, he was a gentle soul, who was kind, especially to people who often felt lost or bullied.
He grew up on the Curragh where his father was a member of the Irish Defence Forces.
