Death,RIP,Tony O'

Tony O’Reilly had a life so extraordinary that if you read about it in a book, you’d call it unrealistic, according to presenter Matt Cooper.

The late His family said he was a “dearly-loved dad and a granddad”.“He lived one of the great lives and we were fortunate to spend time with him in recent weeks as that great life drew to a close,” they said.

“He was dominated by a need, a drive, a greed perhaps, that would not let him rest and be content with great achievement,” he wrote. He noted that beyond his business endeavours, he started as a rugby player at the age of 18 in the 1950s.
