Date: Wed 22nd Feb, 2017 | 16:53
“It is with great sadness that I have heard of the passing of Frank Delaney, acclaimed novelist, broadcaster and journalist.
RTÉ had the benefit of his considerable talent and skills and he was widely appreciated as the BBC correspondent in Dublin.
Frank Delaney went on to create a space to discuss arts and literature, winning both critical acclaim and substantial audiences for his broadcasts as well his writing. He was recognised as an important scholar on the work of James Joyce and an influential Irish voice in the UK and further afield.
Sabina and I want to express our condolences to his wife Diane, his sons Francis, Bryan and Owen, their extended family, his colleagues and his wide circle of friends.”
