Dillon Quirke's tragic passing in 2022 came as a shock to everyone and his fall on the sod of Semple Stadium left a void for all who knew him.

Now almost a year later the anniversary of his passing approaches and mass will be offered in the GAA grounds in Clonoulty to celebrate Dillon's life and times as well as to remember his untimely passing. 

In acknowledgement of the esteem in which Dillon was held in Clonoulty Rossmore, the GAA club have renamed their club grounds as the Dillon Quirke GAA Grounds. 

The president of the GAA, Larry McCarthy will officially open the club grounds and unveil a plaque in Dilllon's memory on the evening of the anniversary mass. 

The club are extending an invitation to everyone near and far to attend the unveiling on August 5th at 5pm in Clonoulty (E25CK44) which will be followed by mass in the grounds.
