LIAM LEAHY RIP

The sad news came through on Sunday afternoon that Liam Leahy had passed away.

Well known within greyhound circles, Liam was a regular at both Youghal and Curraheen Park for many years.

His son Donal is also well-known in the sport, and he worked in Curraheen Park for many years. Liam's son, Bart, passed away a couple of years ago, and he played a big part in the John Linehan kennels, and the Bart Leahy Memorial at Curraheen Park is now one of the standout events every year.

Liam was a great greyhound man, and he will be sadly missed.

LEAHY LIAM (Lackenroe Glounthaune), passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family on July 19th, 2026. 

Beloved husband of Patty (née Roche), dear father of Jay, Donal, Eileen, and the late Mike (Bart), brother of Seamus and the late Noreen and Joan.
