Tragic fan had not planned to stay in Dublin

A GAA fan who drowned while celebrating his team’s victory at Croke Park on Sunday only decided to stay in Dublin at the last minute.

Andrew Duffy drowned when he slipped into the Canal near Binn’s Bridge at Phibsboro after watching Donegal beat Cork to reach the All-Ireland final.

The 24-year-old from Termon, 13km from Letterkenny, fell into the water shortly before midnight while walking to where he was staying with friends.
