The former RTÉ presenter died following a battle with a long illness.
He initially joined RTÉ in 1969 as a continuity announcer, before going on to present Fáilte Isteach on Radio One in the 1980s.The writer and filmmaker was behind the award-winning 1981 Radharc documentary, The Forgotten Irish, which was the first documentation of the descendants of Irish emigrants in Newfoundland, Canada.
The documentary was very meaningful and followed the stories of Irish descendants who found a home in Canada's most eastern province. It showed how Irish emigrants began crossing the Atlantic in the 1600s as part of European seasonal migration to harvest fish, such as cod, from the seas surrounding Newfoundland.
Aidan also became a news announcer for Dublin’s 98FM and enjoyed a long and successful career in publishing, writing many novels and articles around the topic of Irish diaspora, culture and history.Get the latest RSVP headlines straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter
