“These were dad’s bibles,” he remembered, and on arrival at a town in the evening times he “would insist on reviewing each and every restaurant before deciding on one”. His father had been a “kind, gentle, unassuming person with a happy home and family life, a successful career and many friends. What more can you ask for in life.”

He had spent the earlier parts of his legal career practising in Monaghan, Cavan and Dundalk, and met his wife Anna on holiday in Italy. The couple had three children: Richard, Micheline and Suzi.
