I am seeking any information about Sean Dawson born 1935 in Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland .He had meningitis from a very early age and in later life probably when he was in his 60's he was living in St. Mary's Nursing home Castleblaney with his brother Tommy (they had previously lived together on a farm in Monaghan, Ireland}
Tommy passed away approximately 25 years ago they were 2 brothers from a large family with 10 children.
.

Have you tried contacting the nursing home?
They may have records of him, or he may still be there.

Can’t see anyone can help tbh

He isn’t listed in anyone’s tree on this site

His birth is listed on FMP and seems to have had a twin John. Mmn McEnaney

Tommy seems to have been born 1927

As Argyll suggested try contacting the home

He is also not on anyone's tree on Ancestry.

"Any information" is very vague.
As you seem to know a lot about his family background, I have assumed that you are hoping for information about his later life, and not about his ancestors

I would assume that as Keith knows when Tommy died he wants to know when or if Sean died.
