It is with tremendous sadness that we announce that our Director and friend Dermot O’ Connell has sadly passed away.
Dermot leaves behind a tremendous legacy marked by his outstanding dedication to the development of Glanmire community. His work in the community began in 1985 and in the past 40 years he was a tireless advocate for the development of amenities and resources for the Glanmire area as well as being an active and founding member of many groups and organisations working hard to improve the lives of Glanmire residents.
Over the years, Dermot achieved so much for so many people, and amongst the many highlights are his purchase of the Pike Field, – which later became the home of Glanmire Football Club where he also served as Chairman of the club. Dermot was also instrumental in bringing Glanmire it’s own Secondary School. He was also a founding member of Glanmire Youth Project and SAFE Glanmire.
Dermot was a much-loved and valued board member of the Glanmire Area Community Association. In his dedication and commitment to the community over the years, he held several committee positions, assisted and advised community groups and organisations and attended many meetings and events,valiantly representing Glanmire. He was passionate in all dealings he had with community matters, and was steadfast instriving to make improvements for all. He was a peace maker, a diplomat and always the voice of reason. Dermot was a gentleman, and a true community man. He was a great friend, mentor and an inspiration to so many in Glanmire.
He will be sadly missed by our association and by his many friends, colleagues and all the lives he touched in the Glanmire community and beyond.
Our sincere and heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers go to out to Dermot’s wife Nellie, his children Maria, Patrick, Claire, Brendan, Bryan and the extended family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.
Leaba í measc na naomh go raibh aige agus suaimhneassíoraí air. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
