'FULL OF LIFE' Manchan Magan

MOURNERS at the funeral of broadcaster and author Manchán Magan heard he was a “Gael ina chroi, a gatherer of light from the living word”.

The broadcaster and documentary maker passed away last Thursday at the age of 55 after a brave battle with cancer.

Chief mourners at his funeral in the chapel in Gonzaga College, his former school in Dublin, yesterday morning were his wife Aisling, his mother Créine, his brothers Rioch and Ruan, sister Liadain, extended family, friends and spirit guides.
