Leinster GAA has paid a heartfelt tribute to long-serving administrator Julie Quinn, who has passed away.
Described as 'a lady', Julie was a friendly face and voice in the Comhairle Laighean offices in Portlaoise, and was always a pleasure to deal with.
“It is with profound sadness that Leinster GAA marks the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Julie Quinn,” the provincial council said in a statement.
“Julie was a cornerstone of the team in Áras Laighean for 38 years. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism left an indelible mark not only on our organisation, but on every individual who had the privilege to work alongside her. She brought heart, humour and unwavering commitment to her role each and every day, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
“Julie was more than just a colleague – she was a friend, and a vital part of the Leinster GAA family. Her contribution to Gaelic Games in Leinster was shaped by dedication, consistency and care over many years. Though not always in the spotlight, the impact of her work and the legacy she leaves behind will be felt long into the future.
“On behalf of Leinster GAA, we offer our deepest sympathies to Julie’s family, friends and all who mourn her loss.
“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.”
