They wrote on Facebook: “He was always generous with his time, constantly volunteering to help out at community events and fundraisers. Ciaran loved to chat to people, and he regularly attended events and was a great source of community news.”

Christ Church Bray also took to social media to share their condolences. They extended their sympathies to Megannety’s wider family, describing him as a true gentleman.

They wrote in their tribute: “He was always available with a big smile, and a helping hand and so well-loved in the community of Bray. A friend of all at Christ Church and always at every concert or event we held.”

Another person wrote that he was well-liked in the local area and that they would miss their chats with him on the seafront.

The person commented: “A sad day today in Bray with the tragic loss of local man Ciaran Magennety...Ciaran would have been well know and very well liked, known for his chats and walking dogs.”
