The Federation of Irish Sport is saddened to learn of the passing of former President Derek Brennan. Derek served as member of the Executive Committee of the Federation as well as President of the Federation of Irish Sport  from 2005-2008.

A lifelong volunteer in sport and an especially dedicated administrator of cricket in Ireland, Derek served at every club officer role in addition to Chair of the Irish Cricket Union and President of Cricket Leinster. Most significantly he was instrumental in the success of the cricket-based charity, Lord’s Taverners Ireland.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to his wife, family members and all his friends and fellow volunteers in Cricket Ireland.

Federation of Irish Sport, Board of Directors.
