The late Patrick McNulty, Rossinver, County Leitrim.

Leitrim GAA would like to offer its condolences to the family of the late Patrick McNulty, Rossinver, County Leitrim, who passed to his eternal reward on Wednesday last. Patrick was a tremendous supporter of his club Melvin Gaels and also the Leitrim GAA County teams. On an annual basis, Patrick travailed the highways and byways of his native North Leitrim area raising funds for the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club. He loved to attend matches at Avant Money Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada and far beyond in support of his native county over the years.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his brother Hugh and extended family and friends. Patrick’s funeral arrangements are located below.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

The late Pat Conefrey, Corrawallen, Carrigallen, Co Leitrim.

Leitrim GAA is deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pat Conefrey, late of Corrawllen, Carrigallen, County Leitrim. Pat was a former Principal Teacher of Drumlea NS, having previously taught in Gortahoose NS, before its closure. Throughout his time teaching pupils from the club area of Drumreilly, he imbued in them a love of Gaelic Games, which has borne much fruit in his club and indeed onwards towards the production of many players who excelled at inter-county level over the decades.

Pat himself was a former Senior player with Leitrim and featured regularly on the famous team of the late 1950s which contested a number of Connacht Finals of that era, and continued to play for the county into the 1960s. In his early playing days, he was also a member of the 1956 Erin’s Hope team which featured the St Patrick’s Drumcondra Trainee teachers who won a Dublin Senior Championship at that time. At the local level, he played his club football with Fenagh.

On the GAA administration front, Pat was a former officer of Bord na nÓg Liatroma and was the first Cathaoirleach of Cumann na mBunscol Liatroma. In 2007 he was inducted into the Leitrim GAA Hall of Fame and was presented with the Jim  Lynch Hall of Fame Award in recognition of his lifetime contribution to the GAA in the county. Pat had many strings to his bow and his weekly column as Drumreilly local correspondent in the Leitrim Observer was widely read and his careful and encyclopedic recall of what was then current and indeed many GAA past glories in his local area is a permanent record of events of those times.

Pat will be sadly missed by his beloved wife, Rose; their children: Jacinta, Jarlath, Damien, Fergal and Edel (McCartin); his sister, Mary Heeran; brother Willie; son-in-law John; daughters-in-law: Louise, Martina and Marianne and his adored grandchildren: Lee, Ben, Elle, Faye, Oisín, Olwyn, Éabha, Doireann, John (McCartin Jr), Tiarnan, John Conefrey, Ciaran and Grace.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and wide circle of friends. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

The late Seán Callaghan

Leitrim GAA would like to be associated with the many messages of sympathy that have been extended to the Callaghan Family on the recent passing of Seán a native of Lisroughty, Aughawillan, Co. Leitrim.
A former local correspondent of the Leitrim Observer for the greater Aughawillan area over many years, Seán’s writings were a much-awaited weekly regaling of the happenings of his locality but were much more than that. They included commentary and witticisms of such a broad nature that these defined his column and made it one of the more widely read of that era.
Seán also served a term as PRO to his beloved Aughawillan Club and indeed found the time to serve as PRO Coiste Chontae Liatroma CLG from 1987 to 1991.
To his sisters Margo, Mary, Antoinette, Lucy, and Imelda, his brothers-in-law Patsy Smith, John O Callaghan, and James Curren, nephews, nieces, and extended family we convey our deepest sympathies at this sad time.
The late Seán was laid to rest earlier today in the adjoining cemetery to his local St Patrick’s Church, Aughawillan.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

The Late Seamus McWeeney

The McWeeney family has given a lot to Leitrim GAA over the years and all three sons Gavin, Barry, and Seán have represented the Green and Gold with distinction at all levels, with Seán captaining the Senior team in 2015. We express our deepest sympathies to his heartbroken wife, Margaret (née Connolly), and his children Gavin, Barry, Orla (Knock) and Seán and their partners Sinéad, Mary, Tommy and Ciara, his adorned grandchildren Cillian, Ryan, Dylan, Kate, Éabha, Áine, Daniel and Tomás, his family Dessie (New York), Kevin (Dunboyne), John (London), Joseph (Ardee), Gabriel (Dublin) and Patricia (New York).
