  • Senior Petty Officer John McCarthy N.S.

    Learned yesterday of the passing of SPO. John McCarthy suddenly.

    I joined with John and served with him on L.E. Eithne.

    Condolences to family friends and colleagues.

    John is a great loss to the service.he would have completed 26 years service on 19th november this year

      I seem to recall an article years ago in An Cosantoir, about two McCarthy brothers, one
      in the Army, and one in the Naval Service - from Ballymun, if I remember correctly

      Same person ?

        I don't think so.. The Navy Twin is not John.

              Lets not speak ill of the recently deceased.
              Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
              Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
              The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
              The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
              The best lack all conviction, while the worst
              Are full of passionate intensity.
