Tributes have poured in for GAA coach Niall McEneaney, who was killed in a hit-and-run incident in Louth over the weekend.
Gardaí and emergency services were alerted after a pedestrian was found unresponsive on Rathmullen Road in Drogheda.
“His family originates from Drogheda and is a lovely, lovely family. They will be just devastated at this. It’s such a shock. It’s unreal.”Cllr Power revealed that Mr McEneaney was “a really good friend” of his, adding, “We would have played hurling together for 10 or 12 years for the local club there in Drogheda.“His sport, like mine, was always hurling. He had a passion for it as a player and as a coach.
“Niall was a former player and coach within the club and up until last year was involved with the coaching of our juvenile teams. “I played hurling with Niall with Wolfe Tones and he was a great hurler who also played for Louth. He led St Fechin’s to the last two Louth senior hurling championship titles and was a really passionate hurling man.
