| John Condon | Jan 22 2021, 11:31am | Well said Conor. Jerry taught me in St Brigid's, he was a great teacher and mentor. The pride I felt seeing my teacher finishing 9th in LA was huge. RIP Mr Kiernan. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Jan 22 2021, 1:25pm | RIP Jerry Kiernan.. a great athlete and a great athletics pundit. He will be sorely missed |
| Laura Flynn | Jan 22 2021, 4:02pm | Very sad news indeed. He was a great athlete and gave a lot back to the sport he loved including many years coaching the juveniles at my own club Rathfarnham WSAF. May he rest in peace. |
