The death has occurred of Julie Quinn from Portlaoise, a long-time, highly-respected administrator in Leinster GAA, a role she filled for almost 40 years.
Starting initially alongside Michael Delaney during his time as the top man in the Leinster Council, she later worked with Michael Reynolds.
She was one of the key full-time staff in Leinster GAA’s headquarters in Portlaoise and was known across the province within the GAA community for her professionalism, efficiency and decency.
A native of Ballyfin, she lived in Portlaoise for a long number of years.
“She brought heart, humour, and unwavering commitment to her role each and every day, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
“Julie was more than just a colleague – she was a friend, and a vital part of the Leinster GAA family. Her contribution to Gaelic Games in Leinster was shaped by dedication, consistency, and care over many years.
“Though not always in the spotlight, the impact of her work and the legacy she leaves behind will be felt long into the future.
