RIP Gerry i bet Pat Kenny wasn't expecting to be back on the late late show so soon after leaving, it's great seeing Gay Byrne back on the late late the toy show hasn't been the same since he left and it never will be again i miss the water pistol.

R.I.P. Gerry... Ironic story, day before he died, I seen a guy in town and my mate said, "Look it's Gerry Ryan". Small world, small world... Rest well Gerry...

Nice to see and hear from his friends. I will miss Gerry Ryan. :(

respect the man people.yes he took drugs but he was an irish icon and someone who i am sure ye listened to at least once!!!! no one who dies deserves to be disrespected regardless of situation!!!!

could nobody in RTE stand up and say drugs are wrong and for fools?

I was on my way to France that Friday wen the news broke on the plane. I dont think any1 believed it! Will never forget wen I first heard it! RIP Gerry.

The Ryan line is now CLOSED. RIP Gerry.

r.i.p. gerry sadly missed on air. e.berry

Pat Kenny = Ireland's Alan Partridge

Poor fella Dearly missed rip

rip gerry ryan the radio is not going to be the same anymore and everyone noes you are watchin down on your family friends and listeners

Morning radio just wont be the same. R.I.P Gerry

I find it amazing that even years after his death he is still referred to as "tragic" Gerry Ryan. Gerry Ryans death was tragic becuase he was an addict................just like every other addict. But i find it so fucking annoying that the same press who refer to Gerry Ryan/Amy Winehouse etc as tragic will have refer to working class people who died from an overdose and not refer to it a tragic and normally follow it up with their criminal background

Still can belive it. RIP Gerry

A Sad loss,what he did in his personal life is his own business,no one elses.His supposed friends writing about his habit in the papers are a disgrace and the toe rag tabloid journalists are even worse.Papers should bring in random drug testing,how many of these holier then thou journalists would pass the teasts.Not many. My thoughts are with his family R.I.P. Gerry

Sheesh wow Gerry was a freakin legend Rip..Bro.......... too young to die

At the risk of sounding a simple eejit, what happened to letting a fella rest in peace?

We never heard of him in America.

I'll drive ya crazy

godspeed gerry

He was such a good father?

@buzzmund What are your opinions on his replacement, tubridy?

He was over twenty years younger that me...and that what makes it...unfair. - Gay Byrne. Yeah well thats what snorting your way through half of Chile will do to you...

@84 cats, totally agree. Is everybody perfect "no" Don`t listen to those jealous clowns who have achieved nothing. rip

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1236">20:36</a>... Surely Tommy Tiernan aswell...well if not yet soon anyways cos he was also interviewed by the other three

@buzzmund yeh but he was gud on the radio

Some people really should keep their opinions to themselves - I wasn't gerry's number one fan by any stretch of the imagination and I don't support drug dealers in any manner, however, the man died in tragic circumstances and like it or not he was an icon in this country - I think he should be let rest in peace now - enough is enough......................................................

@Lousypenguin he was a patronising junkie,,,,, end of story

i didnt like the guy but the morning radio is not the same anymore..

@northernsoul44 I don't think so. At least Partridge is funny!

Short for Gabriel.not everyone has the mind of a 12 year old
