Some of us have many memories of Mgr. Dermot from college days. He was a brilliant student and a wonderful swimmer in the days when very few swam and when swimming pools were a rare facility.
Down the years, he was the same sociable and friendly Dermot, with a smile.
The Archdiocese of Tuam will miss him greatly.
May he now enjoy his well earned reward, the peace and happiness of his heavenly home.
