Cumann Lúthchleas Gael expresses its sympathies to the family of former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness on his passing overnight.

Uachtarán Aogán Ó Fearghail said: “On behalf of the wider GAA Family we would like to take this opportunity to offer our condolences to the family of Martin, most notably his wife Bernie, his children and grandchildren, and the extended McGuinness family following his sad passing after his brief illness.

“Martin was a proud Derry man and a regular attendee at our games, whether it was at Celtic Park, other venues across Ulster or indeed around Ireland, including of course Croke Park.

“He worked tirelessly in recent decades for the betterment of all and the improvement to life on this island over that time, most notably in the north, is testament to his efforts.

"His influence and charisma will be sorely missed.”
