There has been some sad news this evening with the untimely passing of Dublin County Board Chairman Andy Kettle. The ever popular 68 year old who had only recently been re-elected for a fifth term in office, passed away following a battle with cancer.
The Fingal Ravens clubman oversaw one of the most prosperous eras in Dublin GAA, for that and for his personal charm it is no surprise that people have been quick to pay their respect, and it must be said this is just a very small selection.
Saddened to hear that @DubGAAOfficial County Board Chairman Andy Kettle has passed away. Thoughts with Andy's family & friends #dublingaa
