Pádraig Ó Dorchaí RIP
The Committee, players and members of Piarsaigh An Ghallbhaile CLG deeply regret to hear of the passing of former County Chairman and Tattyreagh club stalwart Pat Darcy. Our club had the honourable pleasure of having Pat as guest speaker at our 2016 presentation dinner last November where he spoke very passionately about the ethos of the GAA. We extend our deepest and sincere sympathies to the Darcy family circle at this sad time. A Mhuire Banríon na nGael, guí ar a anam.
