Damian Byrne

Damian Byrne, who was master of the Dominican Order and earlier provinical of the Irish Dominican province, died 20 years ago today.

One of his characteristics was his apparent simplicity. He travelled the world with a small, shabby case, never expected to be met at airports or train stations.

He died in Dublin of a heart attack this day 20 years ago.

One of those impossible-to-answer-questions: What would Damian Byrne think of the current well-being of the Irish Dominicans, the direction the province seems to be taking?
