Patrick O'Connell honoured today at Abbotstown with a dedicated commemorative alcove.
The Patrick O'Connell Memorial Fund also presented Ireland manager Martin O'Neill with a portrait by Belfast muralist Michael Doherty. Mr. O'Neill kindly signed multiple shirts and a book to help raise funds for Patrick's memorial and has been a fervent supporter of the memorial fund - more details about the fund here: www,pocfund.com |
