Tommie Gorman, veteran journalist and legendary broadcaster has died at the age of 68.
Tommie retired from RTÉ in April 2021 after working in RTÉ for more than 40 years. At the time of his retirement he was RTÉ News’s Northern Editor.
"Tommie was a cherished husband, father, brother, and friend whose innate kindness and generosity of spirit touched the lives of all who knew him," his family said.
"His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to guide and inspire us every day."
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, a giant of sports broadcasting. RIP
He took over as RTÉ Radio 1's premier radio commentator when Míchael O'Hehir retired from broadcasting in 1985.
His last All-Ireland final came in 2010, when he commentated on Cork's win over Down in the football decider, and he retired from broadcasting in October of that year.
He died in hospital this morning, aged 93.
