Brennan hails Davin’s GAA contribution

NICKEY BRENNAN yesterday paid tribute to the GAA’s first president Maurice Davin for his role in ‘bestowing the gift of the GAA on the Irish nation’.

Brennan was accompanied by the Association’s Director General Liam Mulvihill and the Patron of the Association, the Archbishop of Cashel, Dr Dermot Clifford when they unveiled a new headstone on Davin’s grace in Churchtown cemetery near Kilsheelan village in Tipperary.

The headstone was erected as part of a refurbishment project at the resting place of Mr Davin, initiated by the GAA’s Central Council. Work at the site also included the erection of a plaque, the laying of new surrounds and the sealing of the grave.
