<p>JOE DELANY- O'CONNELL SCHOOL LEGEND</p> <p>On behalf of the entire O'Connell School Community, please allow me to express our sincere sympathies to all the members of the Delany family both in Canada and in Ireland. Joe was a supreme athlete during his time at this school and his name will always be synonymous with school athletics in Ireland. Ronnie spoke so movingly about Joe at the recent Past Pupils' Dinner and indeed dedicated his Hall of Fame Award to Joe, his role model. We are all deeply saddened by Joe's passing. Be assured his name will always be remembered with great fondness in OCS. Gerry Duffy, School Principal.</p>
