Like the rest of Ulster, Ireland, and beyond, Gaelic Tyrone is deeply saddened and diminished by the death of Oliver Galligan.
As the then Ulster GAA Chair, Oliver helped guide us all through the totally unprecedented COVID pandemic, and apart from that unique and very successful role, he was always for us in Tyrone a hard-working GAA guide, mentor, and colleague of integrity, decency, class, and style.
Oliver took on virtually every strategic Club and County GAA role possible in his beloved Cavan, and also served us all so well in a number of national GAA roles.
‘Na caoin deor ar m’imeacht, ach cuimhnigh mar a bhí mé | Do not mourn my departure, but remember me as I was.’
Our deepest sympathy goes to Oliver’s family, to his many friends, neighbours and colleagues, and to the Gaels of Cavan town and Cavan county.
‘I measc Naomh na hÉireann agus Laochra na nGael go raibh sé | May he be among the Saints of Ireland and the Heroes of the Gael.’
