It is with a sorrowful heart that we announce the passing of our Co-Founder and Chairman, Brendan McAtamney, who died peacefully on Saturday, 21st December 2024, at St. Vincent’s University Hospital, following an illness bravely fought.

Brendan is survived by his beloved wife Caroline, his four children Eoin, Aoife, Éanna and Aisling, his cherished grandchildren Cora, Leo and Amaya, his mother Kathleen, brothers Martin and Kieran, sister Anne, extended family, and a vast circle of friends and colleagues. We extend our deepest and most sincere condolences to Brendan’s family and all who mourn his immeasurable loss.

Brendan’s vision, leadership and rigour enabled LISN to be established and fully operational within just nine months of his liver transplant – an extraordinary achievement that reflected both his determination and his remarkable ability to bring people together with purpose. His commitment, generosity and unwavering belief in patient-centred support are the bedrock upon which LISN was built.
