Statement by Tánaiste Micheál Martin on the passing of Michael Reade

Published on: 21 October 2024


My deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Michael Reade, a broadcaster who made an incredible contribution to the people of Louth and Meath.
 
A firm but fair interviewer, Michael’s show on LMFM was essential radio for more than two decades on the issues that mattered most to his listeners.
 
I always enjoyed my interviews with Michael and appreciated his courtesy and respect.
 
He faced his final days with typical courage and dignity. Michael’s passing is a great loss for public service broadcasting.
