Mayo GAA unveil The Paddy Muldoon Room 

Mayo GAA unveil The Paddy Muldoon Room
Westport native Paddy Muldoon was a notable club and county GAA delegate for over fifty years.  Paddy was born in Aughagower just outside of Westport and while he initially plied his trade with the Islandeady GAA club winning a west Mayo Junior Football title in 1959 it didn’t take long until he returned to his roots in Westport town.  Paddy held every position in the Westport GAA club and was a highly respected coach and club manager. In the mid-sixties he became chairperson of the Westport GAA club a position he held for nine years.  Paddy was manager of the successful Westport Junior Football team that won the Mayo GAA Junior Football Championship in 1970 and his infamous pep-talks ‘I have three subs and I intend to use them all’ is still fondly remembered by all that played and coached with him.  In 1980 Paddy was elected Chairperson of the Mayo GAA County Board and during his 8-year term Mayo won two Connacht Senior Football titles, an All-Ireland U21 title and an All-Ireland Minor Football title.  Paddy also represented Mayo on Central Council for many years and was a great supporter of hurling and Scór during his tenure. He is sadly missed to this day by all associated with Westport and Mayo GAA.  Ní neart go cur le chéile
