It was with deep sadness that I have just heard to the sudden death of Ger Dorgan. My condolences to his wonder partner in life Maura and to their daughters Ciara and Róisin to all his siblings Theo Dorgan and family and many close friends. Ger was a great activist, I first came to know him when we worked on the divorce referedum together with Maura and Sadhbh O Neill 30 years ago. Then over the years in radio @nearfm, also as a councillor and activist. As a parent in Mount Temple organising the annual Table quiz with Maura. Then in DBN repeal the 8th when I as treasurer when we needed to hold a table quiz to fund our Campaign Ger was the first person I went to ask to do the table quiz and I knew he would do it and perfectly…we raised thousands for the campaign. Here is he giving me a hug at the count centre when we repealed the eight and we were crying with relief. We will miss you comrade RIP Ger Dorgan
Saddened beyond words to learn of passing of Ger Dorgan.
Ger was a community man, an activist and a friend. He was constantly upbeat, determined and a pleasure to be around.
He spoke with such bravery about his and Máire’s own journey during the Repeal Referendum & he canvassed with me every day during this year’s General Election.
He loved Cork, Near FM and of course his family. His Labour Party family are devastated by his loss.
Shocked and saddened at the loss of Labour Party comrade in my Dublin Bay North constituency and my friend Ger Dorgan. Ger was enormously supportive of me when I was Chair of the Dublin Bay North Labour Party and a great colleague when we were staff members in the Dáil a few years back.
He was a tireless campaigner and full of good humour and went all out for the Repeal campaign in 2018 when he spoke very movingly of what his partner and himself had been through and why the 8th Amendment had to be repealed.
Partner, father, friend, comrade, public representative (and a legendary fundraising quizmaster!), he will be very sorely missed by an awful lot of people. The photo with this post was taken in January when we commemorated the anniversary of Tom Johnson. Ger is front row, third from right.
Rest in Peace Comrade.
Heartbroken this morning by the news that my friend and comrade Ger Dorgan has passed away. An inspiration to me and many more beyond, a really kind man who leaves behind a legacy of fighting to make his community a better place. Rest in Peace Ger
