      RIP.
      Thought he had more time.

      Interesting guy.

      Saw him on Dundrum main st last year.

      Very unique voice, there was no one like him.

      Rest in peace.

      RIP Manchán. Always loved listening to him. Very young age. Very sad.

      Really, really upset to hear this. Didn’t know he was sick until a few weeks ago. He had such a way with words, and people. Thank you for all the work you’ve done for our beautiful language and land, Manchán.

      That’s a real pity. Very interesting chap from what I’ve heard of him on blind boys podcasts.

      Ah awful news. Thought he would have more time also. He did a lot for the Irish language. Just bought one of his books. Gifted a few to people too. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam. P

      RIP only saw a clip of him talking about his illness the other day.

      This was way too quick. 

      Manchan will no doubt be even bigger in his passing. He was the great communicator in terms of all things old Irish. How deeply sad this is to lose such a person. Utterly heartbreaking.

      Awful news, I’m really upset to hear this.

      We need more people like him in the media: a deep passion for the Irish language with great humility and respect.

      RIP . I didn’t know much about him but really enjoyed his interview on Tommy Tiernan. God bless.

      Gosh I didn’t even know he was ill. Such sad news, he was such a unique person & had such a wonderful appreciation for the Irish language. I always enjoyed listening to him & reading his books. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

      Did incredible work for the Irish language, created interesting and stimulating art, gave hope and thoughtful meaning in the face of death. RIP Manchán, you did well.

      He was on the Brendan O Connor show just a few weeks ago and sounded upbeat but I didn’t think he was this ill. Loved the way he looked at life and the way he lived it, so different to the consumerist, social media rat race so many people are obsessed with these days.

    17. CthulhusSoreTentacle on

      What? Ah Jesus. I’m only reading now that he was sick. Very sad news. RIP Manchán.

      I’m in the middle of reading one of his books thinking he had still a few months left to live. I can’t believe this news, what an absolute loss.

    20. sliever48 on

      That is genuinely upsetting. I just watched him in a documentary last week. A passionate man, he was very at peace with his awful diagnosis

    21. FatherHackJacket on

      OMG. Shocking. Manchán was an absolute gent. He sent me a bunch of DVD’s years ago for free to upload to youtube. Genuinely lovely fella. Sad to hear of this.

      Fuck this is awful and I’m so sorry for him and his family. But can I get a translation for scríbhneoir? By the article I *think* it’s being a documentarian but as a filthy American I just know.

    23. Own_Car_4687 on

      One of the few public figures I am genuinely devasted about dying. A huge loss to the Irish language and culture but I’m sure his work has inspired many people and will continue to do so.

    24. smashedspuds on

      This is a particularly giant and unmeasured loss for Ireland. His message, passion and authenticity was so much more valuable than most of the self-indulgent pseudo Irish celebrity and influencer culture and there’s no one to fill his boots. He was one of the greats and the real deal
