R.I.P. Tim O'Hare

Tim O’Hare A.D.C.R.G.

November 12th 2019 - Rest In Peace, dear friend.

It is with our deepest sorrow that we inform you of the sudden passing of our colleague, Tim O’Hare.

Tim was a passionate and dedicated teacher, adjudicator and volunteer for IDTAMA, IDTANA, and CLRG. He served both as President of the IDTANA and as Vice-Chair of An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha, and was an active member of the Oireachtas Committee of CLRG.

His spirit and enthusiasm were unmatched, and his light was extinguished far too soon. There are no words to adequately express how much Tim will be missed.

The officers and members of CLRG send heartfelt condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time.

More details about sending condolences and about funeral details will be shared here when available.
