The Ballyboden St Enda’s club in Dublin has paid tribute to a “lifelong member” who died in a drowning accident while on holiday in Spain.
Kieran Griffin from Knocklyon in Dublin was found dead in San Sebastian on Friday.
He had travelled to the northern Spain city on Thursday with a group of friends.
Ballyboden St Enda’s described Mr Griffin as a lifelong member of the club and a minute's silence was held in his memory at all of its senior games yesterday (Saturday).
“It is with great sadness that we inform you that Ballyboden St. Endas member Kieran Griffin tragically lost his life in Spain last Friday 15th September,” read a statement on the club’s website yesterday.
“Kieran has been a member of Ballyboden St. Endas since his childhood playing both hurling and football from a young age. He played Minor level during 2000 and was part of the “Eddie Eagles” Junior team that won the Treble in 2004. Kieran was also an avid pool player and recently won the Ballyboden St. Endas Club Doubles Pool Competition.
