TRIBUTES have been paid to Pat McGarrigle who has retired after giving an incredible 40 years of voluntary service as Treasurer at Letterkenny Community Centre.
Presentations were made on Thursday to the McGarrigle family as Pat and his wife, Nuala, were honoured for all that they have done for the Community Centre and their local community.
What Pat believed would be a temporary role turned into four decades of dedicated commitment. As he often said, “There’s nothing as permanent as something that’s only temporary.” Those words certainly rang true.

His colleagues at the Community Centre say they are deeply grateful for Pat’s unwavering dedication over the years, as well as the valuable contribution of Nuala, who served as Company Secretary in recent years.
“Together, they have played an important role in the history, development, and continued success of Letterkenny Community Centre,” Liam O’Donnell, manager, said.
“Pat and Nuala, thank you both for your outstanding service, generosity, and commitment to our community.
“Wishing you both a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.”
