Don’t tell your mother.”“It was this virtue and integrity that made him the celebrated journalist that we grew to love,” he said. “He used to come home in glee after dismantling a junior minister or a poor politician who wasn’t prepped or ready for him. The celebrant was RTÉ broadcaster Shay Byrne and mourners included Hanly’s wife Yvonne, and several members of his family and extended family.
