He has passed away at the age of 89 after a long illness. Yes indeed, I'd forgotten he had appeared in Minder. Thanks for the heads up. He was a serious dramatic actor also with many acclaimed performances on stage. Had a wide range of talents, besides stage, film and TV he had one man shows in which he showcased his many talents.

Yes, I saw Niall Tobin at one of his one man shows back in 2000.
It's been a bad few months for some of the legends of stage and screen in Ireland. Brendan Grace was a real Dub comedian who we all grew up with (he has a memorable role in a Father Ted episode where they sent Fr. Jack to the retirement home for priests). He died in July, then Gaybo last week and Niall Tobin today. Mind you Niall Tobin was a week away from making 90.

Sad news. Watched him give a quality performance in 'Murphys Stroke' only a few weeks ago.
RIP.
