Sir, – Tom O'Gorman is a tremendous loss to the intellectual fabric of our country (Home News, January 14th). He was a highly educated, religious, peaceful and very good-humoured man who did crucial work for, among others, the Iona Institute and the Pro-Life Campaign, behind the scenes and never sought the limelight.
I first encountered Tom O’Gorman when I entered UCD as a student; Tom had graduated by that stage, but he returned often for pro-life events in the university and I was privileged to call him an acquaintance. Ireland is a poorer place since he was killed. May others be inspired, by his good work, to take up his baton. – Yours, etc,
