Yesterday was the first anniversary of the passing of Brendan Harkin. As a symbol of the importance of this man to our club and to our people, a portrait of Brendan now occupies a central position in our clubrooms.
Brendan himself once reflected, “We may well ask for whom the bell tolls but the reality is that it is tolling for us all. As members of human-kind we are lessened by every death. When it is a death from within a small, closely-knit area then this philosophy becomes painfully very real.”
These profound words resonate this week more than ever – another painfully tragic week for members of our club. We are thinking of them all.
Our sincere gratitude to renowned artist Samantha Ellis Fox and thank you, as always, to Mary Rafferty for the photographs from yesterday.
