Mayo native Darragh Walsh from The Neale was killed in an accident last week, just a few weeks after he arrived in Qatar. It is reported that the 22-year-old was killed when the taxi he was a passenger in crashed. He moved to Qatar in the past month, and was working for an Irish company there. Walsh came from a prominent GAA family in Mayo, his father Gerry is the chairman of The Neale GAA club. In a statement on The Neale’s Facebook page, the club expressed their sadness: “Crushingly bad news this evening. The club is devastated with the news of the tragic death of Darragh Walsh. Simply hard to believe. We will all miss you. Truly only the good die young. Our thoughts are with Gerry and Miriam and his brothers and sisters and his extended family and friends.” Qatar GAA club paid their respects on Twitter writing: “RIP Darragh Walsh from all @QatarGAA who were only just getting to know you. Deepest sympathies to your family, friends and @MayoGAA.” A minute’s silence was observed at the Connacht senior club final in his memory. The Department of Foreign Affairs are assisting his family at this difficult time.
