Deep regret was occasioned by the recent death of  Neil O’Donnell (Dan Doney), Belcruit, Kincasslagh, which took place in Aras Gaoth Dobhair, Derrybeg.

Neil had been unwell for a period previous to his passing and had received excellent care in the Aras.

Neil was a native of Belcruit and a member of a well known and highly respected family. He was predeceased by his brothers James, Hughie, Condy, Danny and his sister Bernadette. He emigrated in his youth, spent most of his working life in England, before retiring home to Belcruit. Neil was of quiet and kind disposition and was a great neighbour, held in the highest esteem.

His funeral took place to Belcruit Cemetery, following Mass in St Mary’s Church, Kincasslagh, celebrated by Rev Fr Pat Ward, P.P, who also officiated at the graveside. Readers at the Mass were his nephew Hugh and neighbour James Breslin.

Soloist at the Mass was Pauline Glackin, accompanied by her brother Joe. He is survived by his sister Mary in Belcruit, nephews Hugh, Joe, James and Danny and niece Erin, relatives and friends to whom deepest sympathy is extended.
