Gaelic Players Association chief executive Dessie Farrell has offered condolences on behalf of the organisation to the family of Clare dual player Niall White, who was found dead at his home in Ennis on Monday.
A member of the St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield club, the 23-year-old had been a member of the Clare senior football panel for the last three years and was also a talented hurler.
“Niall’s death has come as a great shock to the GAA community and players everywhere,” said Farrell in a statement this afternoon. “A talented young dual player, his loss to his family, friends and team-mates is unimaginable. On behalf of the GPA, I would like to offer our condolences to Niall’s parents, Pat and Mary and his sister Ciara.
“We would also like to extend our condolences and support to Niall’s playing colleagues at his club St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield and on the senior county panel.”
White’s funeral mass will take place on Thursday at St Joseph’s Church at 12pm followed by burial in Drumcliffe cemetery.
