Willie was a man of few words yesterday but did tell us he was instrumental in the extension of the club about 1999 where we have the ladies changing rooms and bar extension area now. Liam Hennessy who had a great record in the early 1970s with the club citing some impressive achievements in races. He then moved on to have very significant contributions to athletics in Ireland over several decades. Among them serving as President of Athletics Ireland from 2008 to 2012 and organising many major international events in Ireland, including the European Cross Country Championships in Dublin, the European Team Championships, and the World Cross Country Championships in both Dublin and Limerick. Very well deserved to you both and we are honoured to have you as club members. Thank you to Leonie, Barry, Sinead and all who organised the morning along with the captains and coaches for a great run out on the trails beforehand.
