Seán Rocks RIP

We heard with sadness the passing of Seán Rocks, broadcaster and actor, best known as the voice of Arena on RTÉ Radio 1 last week.

His career with RTÉ began in 2000 on Lyric FM, and he went on to produce and present acclaimed arts programming, including the award-winning documentary Soul of Ireland. 

Beyond the airwaves, Seán was a familiar and cherished presence at national literary and arts events, regularly hosting evenings at the National Concert Hall and other major venues. His contribution to Irish arts and culture was profound, and his voice will be missed. 

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his work.
