The late Patrick O’Riordan

The North Kerry Hurling Board was deeply saddened to hear of the recent untimely passing of its St. Brendan’s Hurling Club delegate Patrick O’Riordan of Ardfert. Patrick has represented his club on the Board for many years and he gave a lifetime of service to the GAA and athletics. He did so in a quiet, efficient manner and was highly respected in every facet of his life. Deepest sympathy to his wife Josephine, daughters Brenda, Siobhán and Katie, his siblings Willie and Mary and all the O’Riordan and McCarthy families. Rath Dé air.
