Coiste Chontae Thír Eoghain is deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Padraig McDonald, a member of one of our strongest Gaelic families, and cherished brother of our 2025 All-Ireland Minor Football Champion, Pearse.
‘Ní mhaireann buairt ach seal ach ta an grá buan | Troubles last a while but love is eternal.’
Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Padraig’s family – his parents Paddy and Kerry, siblings Pearse, Hanna, Shan and Daithí – and wider family circle, to his many friends and colleagues, to his teammates, and to the Gaels of Loch Mhic Ruairí.
‘Go mairfidh Padraig beo i measc Na n-Aingeal i saol nach dual dó cosc ná críoch | May Padraig live forever among The Angels in a world never destined to end.’
