The late Micheal Loughlin Glasnevin Dublin and BallinOglera Co Leitrim

The late Micheal Loughlin, Glasnevin, Dublin and Ballinaglera, Co Leitrim
 
One of the great Leitrim GAA Supporters, the late Michéal Loughlin was the first Chairman of the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club in Dublin. He was so passionate as a supporter he used to attend the Leitrim team training sessions in Dublin. After a game he would recall every move, every kick, every score and every wide that he claimed he would have scored himself. He was always great to meet and the one thing with Mick was he was never in a hurry. He was always up for a song with Lovely Leitrim top of the list followed by the Joe Dolan’s  song ‘More & More’ His favourite Leitrim players were Mickey Quinn & Mickey Martin
 
Mick retired as an Inspector of Taxes 5 years ago. He coped heroically and most positively with an illness over the past 5 years during which he taught us all a lot about life and the values that really matter. The sudden end has come as a shock to all.
 
The Leitrim GAA Supporters Club would like to extend their sympathy to his family & friends particularly his sisters Teresa, Eileen, Margaret, Madeline, Laureen, brothers Gene, Cyril, Seán, Noel, brothers and sisters-in-law; aunt Margaret, uncle Ted and all his extended family.
Michéal was laid to rest in Fahy Cemetry on Monday last, July 4, following his funeral mass in St Hughs Church, Ballinaglera.
 
Ar dheis Dé go raibh sé.

The Late Paddy and Josie McGoldrick Main Street Ck-on-Shannon

The late Paddy and Josie McGoldrick RIP

It has been a most difficult week for the McGoldrick Family, Ck-on-Shannon as they say goodbye to the late Paddy McGoldrick and his wife, the late Josie. A couple who have been synonymous with trading in Ck-on-Shannon over many years, the McGoldrick family has also been associated with the GAA to a huge degree and have been most generous sponsors of the local St Marys Kiltoghert GAA Club, Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada, in addition to being a very popular meeting place after many GAA events in the town over the years. 

Paddy who died Monday 27th June and Josie who died on Friday last, 24th June, are deeply regretted and sadly missed by their loving sons Padraic and Sean, daughters Aine, Martina and Teresa, and extended familiy. Josies funeral mass took place on Monday last and Paddy is reposing at the home of his son Padraic and daughter-in-law Margaret, Coreen, Dublin Road, Carrick-on-Shannon tomorrow Wednesday from 1 oclock until 4 oclock with removal to St.Marys Church, Carrick-on-Shannon arriving at 7 oclock. Mass of Christian Burial on Thursday at 12 oclock followed by burial of Paddy and his wife Josie in St.Marys Cemetery.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh siad.

Commemorative 1916 Mass in Arbour Hill

A Commemorative 1916 Mass

for  Sean Mc Dermott and Tom Clarke

The Church of the Sacred Heart, Arbour Hill  Dublin 7.

Date: May 12th 2016 at 6.30 pm

26.04.16

 A very special commemorative Mass will be offered, in The Church of the Sacred Heart  Arbour Hill (Church of the Defence Forces) for Sean Mc Dermott & for Tom Clarke on May 12th at 6.30 pm

This is planned for this specific date, because this was the exact date that Sean Mc Dermott was executed in May 1916.

Father Tom Colreavy will  celebrate the Mass.

As you know, both men have Leitrim connections. Sean Mc Dermott was from Kiltyclogher & Tom Clarke’s father was from Carrigallen. Our Dublin Branch held an annual mass in Arbour Hill Church, every May, over many years, for both these men.

We would greatly appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about this special Mass by notifying The Leitrim GAA Supporters Club Membership on our behalf.

You can contact me at 087 2564110 if you require any further details.

Yours sincerely,
