I'm still trying to take this in...what terrible news.
I met Ciaran in Doha in 2000. He was a true gentleman who loved to have a bit of craic with his friends, and indeed, with total strangers who soon became his friends. You couldn't meet a nicer guy.
My heart goes out to his family, and to his many good friends all over the world.
RIP Ciaran - you'll be missed.
