Eileen Ryan
It was with great sadness that we learned of the unexpected death of former Ladies Captain, Eileen Ryan, on Friday morning.
From Scart, Ballylooby, Eileen worked with RTÉ for many years and was a researcher for the Rodney Rice Programme.

Eileen accepted the role of Vice-Captain in 2012, before becoming Ladies Captain in 2013.
She was deemed very approachable and cordial.
Eileen produced a booklet on the Club titled:
Cahir Park Golf Club: ‘The Origin of the Club’, ‘The Often Asked Cat Question’ and ‘Stories from Holes 1 to 18’ (Facts, Legends & Folklore).
A very popular member, Eileen enjoyed playing cards, and in particular bridge.
Eileen was also a great supporter of Ballylooby Castlegrace GAA.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to Eileen’s sister-in-law Bridget; niece Sinéad and her husband Padraic Walsh; nephews Garry, Eamon and his wife Deborah; grand-nephews and grand-nieces; relatives and friends.
May the gentle soul of Eileen rest in peace.
