Johnny Lyons, the sports desk stalwart at Dublin’s 98fm has died.
A statement released by 98fm this evening reads:
The entire station is devastated with the sudden passing of a beloved colleague. Johnny, with his larger than life personality, was loved by all listeners and colleagues alike. He was a huge part of the 98FM family and will be dearly missed, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his family at this time. May he rest in peace”.

London-based ‘The Irish World’
The London County Board and its consultant engineers, Tobin Consulting UK Ltd, will this week be forced to put back work by at least a year while they look for contractors who can stick to its original budget [€4.17 million].
The new stadium, which has been many years in development, was supposed to open by May next year and to be a showpiece, county-level ground for the Irish community in London and in Britain.County London GAA.
It had been hoped that London would have its new stand and ground in time for next year’s 29 May Connacht Senior Football Championship clash with Mayo.
The London County Board has received a commitment of £1.3 million from Croke Park and £500,000 from Ireland’s Department of foreign Affairs and Trade and raised £500,000 itself.
