    Thats terrible news.

    Andy seemed like a genuine and passionate Dublin GAA man always. He will be sorely missed. RIP.

    Now there was a real genuine GAA man if ever there was one. No airs or graces or bulls*it, just a genuine supporter. No coincidence that Dublin got their structures spot on under his leadership. Sorely missed and not just in Dublin GAA circles. An example to all sport administrators really. RIP

    Prostate cancer. He was responding well to treatment, but he got a dose of pneumonia a few weeks ago and went rapidly downhill from there.

    Great, great GAA man and a true Dub to his fingers tips. He had the common touch that a lot of suits in their ivory towers often lack. He will be sorely, sorely missed by many, on a personal level, not just an administrative one. Who ever comes in after him, will have some pretty big boots to fill.

    God speed Andy.

    The fact that Dublin moved to the top of the GAA ladder under his watch is something that he and his family should be very proud of.

    a huge loss to Dublin GAA i am sure, may he rest in peace.
