DERRY GAA has paid tribute to Ulster Council secretary Danny Murphy who died yesterday aged 67.
It said in a tweet: “Danny Murphy RIP. A Gael, a gentleman of the highest integrity and a giant of Ulster GAA.
“Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.”
Mr Murphy stood down from his role earlier this year because of ill health but was to officially remain in post until February 2017.
Mr Murphy played football and hurling for clubs in Down and was a county selector in the early 1990s.
A lengthy career in administration included being a former member of the GAA Central Council and vice-president of the GAA.
Mr Murphy served as vice-president and president of the Ulster Council before being appointed provincial secretary, a position he held for 16 years.
