Mayo GAA are mourning the loss of county chairperson Seamus Tuohy, whose death has been announced.<\/p>\n
The Breaffy clubman took over as chair in 2021, this after his involvement in numerous administrative roles within the county, including as vice-chairman, chairperson of Bord na n\u00d3g and chair of the CCC.<\/p>\n
After a 75-year wait, Tuohy was at the helm as Mayo finally brought Sam Maguire back to the county on 26 July.<\/p>\n
Following his passing, Mayo County Council have postponed the planned civic reception for Andy Moran’s squad, due to take place on Friday next.<\/p>\n
A statement from the council’s head of communications, Martina Hughes, read: “On behalf of the cathaoirleach, the elected members, chief executive, Kevin Kelly, and the staff of Mayo County Council, I wish to extend our sincere sympathies to the Tuohy family and to his colleagues and friends throughout Mayo GAA at this difficult time.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mayo GAA described his as someone who embodied the spirit of the county.<\/p>\n
“Everybody involved in Mayo GAA is devastated to learn of the passing of our Chairperson, Seamus Tuohy.<\/p>\n
“Seamus devoted a huge part of his life to Mayo GAA and to his beloved Breaffy GAA.<\/p>\n
“His contribution to our association was immense, and his passing leaves a profound sense of loss across the county. For most of us, Seamus was not simply a chairperson or an administrator, he was a friend, a colleague, a mentor and someone who genuinely cared about people and about the future of Gaelic games in Mayo.”<\/p>\n
“We will remember Seamus with enormous affection and gratitude,” the statement added.<\/p>\n
“We will remember his passion, his determination, his generosity, his friendship, and, above all, his unwavering belief in Mayo and in the people of Mayo. <\/p>\n
“May the work he did, the people he inspired and the vision he had for Mayo GAA continue to live on for generations to come.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayo GAA are mourning the loss of county chairperson Seamus Tuohy, whose death has been announced.
