Hugh O Flaherty Memorial

01 February, 2010

Last week (26th January) a man that was very special to us sadly and unexpectedly passed away.

We were working together on the Hugh O'Flaherty Memorial Committee in Killarney for the last two years. Michael Courtney, a Councillor in Killarney and Chairman of the Committee brought energy, warmth, commitment and a unique sense of humour to the project. The whole team have made terrific strides since we began the project and in Michael's honour we will be even more determined to achieve our ultimate goal.

Michael always appreciated our input to the project and thanked us  in such a way that made you always feel very special.

We will miss him greatly at our meetings and we will especially miss the cup of tea afterwards in the restaurant at the International Hotel, where he always spent half the time chatting to pretty much everyone who entered the restaurant!

Michael, from everyone on the Committee, we thank you ..

To Michael's family and his wife Sheila our deepest sympathy.
