## Resource

Veteran journalist Michael Lavery, known for his unwavering accuracy and quiet professionalism in defense and security reporting, has died at 73 after a brief illness. A pillar of Irish journalism who worked at The Roscommon Herald, The Leitrim Observer, and The Evening Herald, Lavery built a legacy of reliability, mentorship, and deep integrity — remembered by colleagues as a “gentleman” who shared wisdom freely. His brother Don called him his best friend and twin, praising his encyclopedic mind and devotion to his wife Catherine. Lavery’s passing leaves a profound void in newsrooms across Ireland, but his calm presence, kindness, and commitment to truth will endure.
