Death of Seamus Mac Géidigh

Summary

Senator Diarmuid Wilson pays tribute to broadcaster and Raidió na Gaeltachta manager Seamus Mac Géidigh, whose sudden death has left the Gaeltacht community mourning.

West Donegal and the wider Gaeltacht community is in mourning following the sudden death of Seamus Mac Géidigh, broadcaster and manager of RTE Raidió na Gaeltachta northwest service. Seamus was a much respected broadcaster. He was passionate about Gaelic football and a highly respected commentator on Gaelic games. On Saturday evening last, Seamus travelled to Breffni Park to commentate on the Ulster semi-final replay between Monaghan and Donegal. I am sure he left Breffni Park with a smile on his face having witnessed his beloved Donegal beat unfortunate Monaghan. Seamus was heavily involved in the Irish language and in his local community in Gortahork. I extend my sincere condolences to his wife, Dolores; his three children, family, friends and work colleagues. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
