It was with a great personal sadness that I learned of the death, yesterday Friday 7th November 2025, of
Mr Tom O’Dowd, Graiguenoe, Holycross, Thurles, Tipperary, and formerly of Emmett Square, Williamstown, Blackrock, Co. Dublin.
Pre-deceased by his parents Josie and Tom, Mr O’Dowd sadly passed away, unexpectedly, following a long illness, while in the care of staff at St James Hospital, Dublin.
