I loved reading his articles in the Evening Press interesting , witty , informative and fearless. May he Rest In Peace .

One of the true common men of this world , a great Journalist , fantastic to listen to. A Kerryman with a love for The Dubs too …. Ni bheidh a leithead aris ann ….
Maeve and he might find time to chat in Heaven … If there is such a place!

Very sad to hear this. One of Ireland’s real characters. He had an extraordinary way of painting pictures with words. A sad week for Irish Journalism and literature , with Maeve Binchy’s passing.

R.I.P Con. I use to see him drink his Brandy & Milk in O’Connell’s Portobello..

His was the only article I read in the Sunday World. RIP Con

RIP Con

Black armbands for Kerry tomorrow and a minutes applause today would be a fitting tribute.

Great to see the advantage of twitter to express sorrow at the passing of another national treasure. He was one of the reasons i am studying journalism.

Used to buy the evening press just to read his article,sport in poetry.

Two great Irish writers dead within a week…

I’ll miss his article every Wednesday in the evening herald. RIP to the true king of Castleisland

Always a good read. RIP.
