A proud Sligoman, Kevin had a deep love for the arts, drama, the Irish language, and his native Sligo. His tireless work, alongside the Executive Committee, helped ensure the continued success of the Feis, including the celebration of our 90th anniversary in 2019. He was especially passionate about preserving the memory of Sligo’s Noble Six, in whose honor Feis Shligigh was founded.
Kevin was also President of Coolera Dramatic Society for many years, a role he held with pride and dedication, and continues to hold in spirit.
He will be greatly missed by his sons Sean, Cormac, and Ronan, daughters-in-law Joanne and Jackie, grandchildren Aoibhe, Aisling, Eoin, and Sorcha, and his loving sisters Deirdre and Maeve.
We, the Executive Committee of Feis Shligigh, remember Kevin with fondness for his hard work, commitment, and the joy he brought to all of us.
