A Message of Sympathy from Bishop Kenneth Kearon on the death of Anthony Foley

 

‘On behalf of the whole Church of Ireland community in Limerick and Clare let me express our shock and deep sadness at the sudden death of Anthony Foley. He was an iconic figure in Munster, demonstrating all that is great and exemplary in Munster rugby, and a true ambassador for Irish sport.

‘Foremost in our thoughts and prayers at this time are his wife Olive, his sons Tony and Dan, parents Brendan and Sheila and the extended family, whose personal grief is unfathomable. That grief extends to all who knew and admired him, on and off the field.

Ar Dheis De?? go raibh a anam Di?lis

Assuring all of our prayers and sympathy at this sad time.

+Kenneth

Rt Revd Dr Kenneth Kearon

Church of Ireland Bishop of Limerick and Killaloe
