Sincere condolences to Thomas, Christopher , Catherine, Máire, Brendan , Nuala and the extended families on the untimely death of your wonderful wife,daughter and sister Ciara. In my 71 years I have never seen a person to captivate the love and admiration of a country and it's people as Ciara did in her short success-laden life. Her caring, empathetic , loving personality endeared her to all that were fortunate enough to meet her. The world will be a darker place for her passing. Go raibh leaba aici I measc na naomh

Sincerest condolences to Ciara’s beloved husband Thomas, her loving family and friends. Ciara’s unique authentic and generous spirit touched the hearts of so many of us. She brought us all so much joy with her heroic achievements on the track & so much respect and reverence with how she handled herself during the last 18 months. She taught us, through her extraordinary courage and grace, to embrace life fully, to treasure the beauty of each moment and to face the future with unwavering hope; and though she may no longer walk among us, her beautiful spirit will live on in every heart she touched and every life inspired by her example.

Deepest sympathies to Thomas, Christopher, Catherine, Máire, Brendan, Nuala and everyone touched by the loss of Ciara.It was fabulous to watch Ciara blossom as an athlete but being an athlete was only a small part of Ciara. She was warm, kind, generous and always the same whenever and wherever we met. No words can describe what an amazing person she was.Thinking of you all, Olive Loughnane x

Deepest sympathies to Thomas, her parents, siblings and her many friends. Ciara was truly a star-both on and off the track. She selflessly gave so much of her time to so many people & fans, always so kind, honest and genuine - making even complete strangers feel as though they knew her personally. A real Legend She will be so deeply missed.

Deepest sympathies to Thomas, Christopher, Catherine, Máire, Brendan and Nuala and Ciara's wide circle.Ciara was such an amazing person. It was so lovely to watch her athletics career blossom but athletics was really such a small part of who she was. She was warm, kind, helpful and always the same Ciara wherever and whenever we met. No words can do her justice.Thinking you all, Olive Loughnane x

Sincere & heartfelt condolences to Ciaras husband, parents, siblings, many friends & to all of the youngsters and people who were touched by her humanity at this dreadfully sad and difficult time on her passing. All of Ireland and beyond will mourn with you. Ciara was a remarkable young lady and for this to happen is unbearable. A fighter on the track & a brave fighter in life & if only cruel circumstances could have had a different outcome. Goodness just oused from her. Ciara will be sorely missed by all. I just hope she knew how much she meant to all of us, from all walks of life.Love to all and may Ciara Rest Peacefully. A short life so well lived.🙏
