It is with the deepest sadness that we share the heart-breaking news of the passing of our beloved player, Laura Kennedy, who was taken from us far too soon. Laura first came to Kilcoleman alongside her twin sister Aishling, togged out at Under 6 level, and proudly represented Burgess Duharra Camogie Club at both underage and senior level throughout the years. We will always remember Laura's beautiful smile, kind nature, and warmth towards everyone she met.

I am saddened to learn of the passing of broadcaster David Hanly. I have fond memories of interviews with him on Morning Ireland. He was sharp, highly intelligent, and always had a sense of perspective. He put Morning Ireland on the map. His voice was unmistakable. My thoughts are with his family, friends and former colleagues at this time.

I did a couple of venues with him what a shame, a great guy, a great character. He was like myself, he gave his time up for anybody and he'd give his last penny away. It was heartbreaking.
