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

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).

,

Leitrim GAA are sad to hear of the passing of Kitty Nangle Castleknock Dublin. Kitty was a fanatical Dub supporter married to a fanatical Leitrim supporter the late Gerry Nangle who passed away on the 25th April 2019.

On Morning Ireland on  Radio 1 in a piece compiled by Eileen Magnier  Eamonn Duignan Chairman of The LEITRIMWALL committee told the story of two bricks in the leitrimwall.

The story told was of Gerry & Kitty Nangle. Gerry from Drumshanbo met Kitty a Dub  at a dance  in the  National  Ballroom in Dublin  and Gerry left  her home.

She said  she  wasn’t  interested  in boys  she was only   16.   Friends  of hers   from Arigna were friends  of Gerry   & her name  came  up  after  being  lost  for  6years

Gerry and Kitty were married in 1963 -56 years ago

Gerry Nangle bought a brick in  the wall and his message is

Gerry Nangle Drumshanbo- 40 years a publican in Dublin – great leitrim supporter

Two weeks later Kitty asked Eamonn Duignan for a brick in the wall and Eamonn told her Gerry had bought one. She said ‘ I know , and I want to buy one as well’

Kitty a   fanatical Dublin Supporter message was  Up the Dubs- Thanks Leitrim -for Gerry

Kitty became known to everybody when she told her story to Eileen Magnier  on the RTE main evening news at the official opening of the Leitrim GAA Centre of Excellence.

Leitrim GAA would like to extend their sympathy to Kitty’s children ,Gerard, Caitriona, Finbarr and Paula and the entire Nangle family
