West Donegal and the wider Gaeltacht community is in mourning following the sudden death of Seamus Mac Géidigh, broadcaster and manager of RTE Raidió na Gaeltachta northwest service. Seamus was a much respected broadcaster. He was passionate about Gaelic football and was a highly respected commentator on Gaelic games. On Saturday evening last, Seamus travelled to Breffni Park to commentate on the Ulster semi-final replay between Monaghan and Donegal. I am sure he left Breffni Park with a smile on his face having witnessed his beloved Donegal beat unfortunate Monaghan. Seamus was heavily involved in the Irish language and in his local community in Gortahork. I extend my sincere condolences to his wife, Dolores, his three children, his family, friends and work colleagues. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
