SENIOR<\/p>\n

Condolences:<\/strong> The thoughts of everyone associated with the Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g club are with the family of Brian Gubbins this week. The body of 19-year-old Brian Gubbins was recovered adjacent to the Corrib River at Bridge Street in Galway city shortly before 10am following a search co-ordinated by the Garda\u00ed at Mill Street Garda Station on Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

Brian Gubbins was a first year BA student of Journalism & New Media at the University of Limerick and also a cherished member of the Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g club. Indeed, Brian was an absolute credit to his family, his friends and to the town of Nenagh. <\/p>\n

Following a public appeal a co-ordinated search was organised and began at 9am on Sunday morning. Shortly before 10am the Nenagh Ormond Search & Rescue Unit, led by Tom Harvey, discovered the body in a canal adjacent to the Corrib River. <\/p>\n

The Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g club would like to extend its sympathy and deepest condolences to the Gubbins family, his parents Jim and Nora, brother Kevin and sister Michelle.<\/p>\n

Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g would like to commend the emergency services, especially the Nenagh Ormond Search & Rescue Unit, and the Garda\u00ed at Mill Street Garda Station for their efforts. The Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g club would also like to commend \u00c9ire \u00d3g supporters, the people of Nenagh, the people of north Tipperary, the people of Galway and the University of Limerick student population for their help with the search on Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

Condolences:<\/strong> Everyone in the Camogie section were deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Brian Gubbins. Brian was a very talented hurler who represented his club and school, Nenagh College, with distinction over the years and broke the hearts of many forwards with his superb saves in goals. He played a crucial part in \u00c9ire \u00d3g winning the north and county minor championship in 2013 and played with the Junior A team that won the north championship in 2014. Brian was a lovely, good natured young man who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
