The late Kieran McGrath was PRO for Letterkenny Rovers FC

Kieran played a huge part in the running of the Leckview-based club, where he was PRO.
"The news of the tragic death of our dear friend and valued member Kieran McGrath has left everyone at the club shocked and saddened," read a statement from Letterkenny Rovers.
"Kieran was our PRO and an extremely hard working committee member who performed many additional key roles within the club. He was always on the go, resourceful, good humoured and helpful.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Kieran’s family. May he rest in peace."
