Andrew McGinley says 'the time feels right' as he winds up charity set up in memory of his three children

"The three projects in memory of Conor, Darragh and Carla have been crucial to me since January 2020. I needed Conor Clips, Snowman for Carla, and As Darragh Did, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us in any way, shape, or form."

"Your kindness, encouragement, and support carried me through the darkest times and helped transform loss into something positive for others. There are not enough words to properly thank you for standing beside me and helping to keep the kids' memory alive in such meaningful ways."

"Having achieved our charitable purpose of supporting communities in Darragh's name, it is time to move forward and remember the kids collectively in another way. I hope to speak more about that later in the year."

Conor McGinley established three charitable projects in memory of his children—Conor, Darragh, and Carla—who were killed in January 2020. One of these initiatives, As Darragh Did, has successfully completed its mission and will formally cease operations. Over five years, the organization raised more than €500,000 distributed to 300 community clubs and groups nationwide. McGinley expressed gratitude to supporters whose kindness helped transform his loss into positive community impact. He indicated the funded initiatives will continue supporting communities aligned with the original purpose, while announcing plans to remember his children collectively in a new way moving forward.
