'True leader' honoured with Posthumous award at Mayo Sports Stars

The Western People is privileged to announce that the late Padraig Brogan from Belmullet will be honoured with the Posthumous award at the 2023 Mayo Sports Stars Awards. 

A driving force behind the hugely successful Erris Parkrun, Padraig passed away in January 2023. He was remembered as “a true leader, brilliant organiser, caring friend, and so much more”.

A leading official in the Belmullet Municipal District as a member of the staff of Mayo County Council, Padraig was also a member of Belmullet GAA Club for many years and coached at a variety of age levels along the way, someone who was described as a “true volunteer” and “who gave up so much of his time to help the youth develop their potential.”

The 2023 Western People Mayo Sports Stars Awards gala banquet will take place at Breaffy House Resort on the night of Friday, February 16, 2024. The function will include a drinks reception, a three-course meal, wine, the awards ceremony and entertainment. Tickets are priced at €65 per person.
