Obituary: Robert Gahan, former RTÉ assistant director general and a ... (Independent.ie)

Robert K. (Bob) Gahan, who has died at the age of 92 , was a former RTÉ assistant director general who played a significant role in Irish state broadcasting ...

In a statement on his passing, the Order said he would be greatly missed: “Bobby was a generous benefactor to the Christian community there.” Two days after the closure his oil tank was emptied of 1,000 litres by thieves who climbed over the wall, and on another occasion valuable jewellery that had belonged to his late wife was stolen. He also had a busy role in the coverage of the visit by Pope John Paul II to Ireland in 1979. After completing his secondary education Gahan joined the civil service in 1948, where he worked initially in the accounts section at the GPO and then moved over to an administrative role with Radio Éireann. Following the arrival of a national TV service there was a changeover to the combined title of Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), which operated under an independent authority and the transition to the Donnybrook location took place in the mid-1970s. The Gahans had previously played significant roles in the 1916 Rising: Robert’s Aunt May was a messenger for Patrick Pearse between the GPO on O’Connell Street and the rebel outpost in the Royal College of Surgeons at St Stephen’s Green.
