Conor Gearty

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the unexpected passing of
Professor Conor Anthony Gearty (Kentish Town, London; formerly of Abbeylara,
County Longford). A distinguished human rights lawyer and proud Longford man,
Conor was a fantastic husband, an adored dad, a wonderful brother and son, and a warm generous friend to many.

He will be deeply missed by his wife Aoife, his children Eliza, Owen, Èile and Fiadh, his mother Margot, his brother Frank, his sisters Rhona, Catherine, Margaret and Sarah, their partners and children, his in-laws, and his wide circle of friends, neighbours and colleagues.

 

He is predeceased by his late wife Diane and his father Enda.

 

 

The funeral will take place in London and details will be shared here shortly.

 

Ní bheidh a leithéid ann arís. May he rest in power and peace.
