I was sad to hear of Rory's death. He was a remarkable man and poet. I remember him from the Poetry Ireland days of the 80s though I lost touch with him and Fionnuala later on....I am sure he will be deeply missed by friends and family. Condolences to all whose lives were made richer by his larger than life presence.
