Poignant St Patrick’s Day event at O’Donnell Park

There was a poignant St Patrick’s Day ceremony at O’Donnell Park, Letterkenny, where St Eunan’s GAA Club honoured two local men.

Noel McDermott (43) and Michael McGrath (40) remain dearly missed by family and friends and all in the St. Eunan’s family.

Noel, late of Hawthorn Heights and Gortahork, was tragically killed while cycling in January 2018. The following week, the community lost another young man, Michael McGrath, who died from cancer.

St Eunan’s Chairman, John Haran, said it was an important day to mark these ‘two great St Eunan’s men’ who passed away before their time.

Yesterday evening, the club honoured both Noel and Michael by naming sections of O’Donnell Park after the two great volunteers.

The car park will be named after the late Mr McDermott, and the hurling wall after the late Michael McGrath.
