Hi Simon,
You can find a high-res version of the guitar pic (or one very similar, at least), along with a few others from the summer school that include Cormac, in a zip that I’ve put online at:

There are also still some photos up from others in our group, online at:

What a loss to our community – I am happy to hear that UCC granted Cormac’s doctorate, in any case. take care everyone.

Hey guys and galls, I am Cor’s cousin and would love to get hold of this pic in high rez, does any one know how I could go about that or maybe you could simply email it to me. Also if any of you have not already heard I have taken the words from Cor’s bebo site and composed a song with some friends. Its a song from everyone who new him so if anyone would like it I can email it on. Unfortunetely Cor’s intelligence was not blessed to all of us so maybe one of you know how to put it on his bebo page or this one for all to hear.
Rockin in heaven’ thats my man

It was terrible news when I was told last August that he had died in an accident. I had met him a few times last year. I remember him as an energetic and eloquent person.

Thanks for letting us know that he received his PhD. We are proud of him. He was one of those people that you just remember even if you met them only once. I met him for the first time in 2005 at Dagstuhl and we stayed in touch ever since. The above picture is also from Dagstuhl. I last saw him in Netherlands in Jan 2007. He surely will be missed.

Cormac’s sister here, just to let you all know that on the 12th December, we received Cormac’s Doctorate on his behalf from UCC. He was completing his thesis when he died but had done enough to get his PHD. We are all so proud that he achieved his dreams and hopefully added some valuable information to the field of wireless sendor networks.

I just read this now. How terrible. I corresponded with Cormac several times about his work, and met him in person in June. He will be sorely missed.
