I first worked with Ian in the 1980’s. I was new to RTÉ and Ian was very encouraging. He was always very interested in the technological developments in the industry and was the first person I met in RTÉ with a mobile phone. It was very large and the battery filled a whole briefcase but at the time it was very exciting as the only other place we saw one was on the movie Wallstreet with Micheal Douglas!! Ever the trend setter Ian , I was back over a decade later working with him and new technology with Danny McNally and Lendac Data Systems. I miss seeing Ian’s smiley face around the corridors of RTÉ and chatting about the ongoing developments in TV. We wish him all the best.
