I had the privelage of meeting him a couple of times, last time he spent a few minutes chatting with each member of the entire unit. A great man & a great leader.
Condolences to his family & friends.
Rest in peace Sir\:)|The school of artillery told us it couldn't be done...
They were wrong.

It is heartening to see the warm words and high esteem given to Lt Gen Earley from all areas of the community. Numerous obituaries seen in both the News and Sport sections of the newspapers give evidence to this.
Clearly it was not just the Defence forces who had such respect for him.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

Lieutenant General Dermot Earley DSM a well deserved recipient of the DSM (with Honour).
He was a distinguished soldier, officer and leader, gave great Service and we all have great memories of him.
A soldier’s soldier who treated everyone with respect and a sad loss to his family, friends, the GAA and the Defence Forces and a leader this country could and should and were proud of.
