I Was shaken when I heard the news this morning. For years the PA Dublin office was beside the Examiner one. Brian put up with our nonsense, was a brilliant reporter, and a sound man. It’s not right to pass away so young, with so much life still to live. RIP

Shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the esteemed journalist, Brian Hutton. I have known Brian since we were teenagers and have enjoyed catching up when our professional paths have crossed over the years through his work for Press Association and the Irish Times. I respected him hugely as a journalist and as a man. My thoughts and prayers are with Brian’s family, friends, and colleagues at this dark and difficult time.

So very hard to comprehend the loss of such a great colleague, friend and good-humoured Derry man. Thoughts with his family. Brian was the best of us. RIP https://t.co/fvzDALfMqt
