“It is with great sadness that people all across the country will have learned of the death of David Davin-Power.
A consummate broadcaster and communicator, David Davin-Power was a regular presence in the lives of so many people either over the airwaves or on television.
David provided decades of incisive analysis across his roles in RTÉ in particular and was a trusted voice whether reporting on Northern Ireland or on the business of the Oireachtas.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, his colleagues in the media, across the Oireachtas and by the public who were so informed by his work.
May I send my condolences to David's wife Dearbhla, and to his children Nick, Julia, Caroline, Ben and Emily, to his colleagues in RTÉ and beyond, and to all of his family and friends.”
