AS FRIENDS, FORMER schools and colleges pay tribute to those who tragically lost their lives in the Berkeley balcony collapse yesterday, a Dublin GAA club has confirmed that one of the young victims was a lifelong member.
Eoghan Culligan was a member of Ballyboden St Enda’s since childhood and was a part of the A football team who were beaten by Castleknock in the Dublin minor football championship final in 2011.
In a statement, the club said:
“He continued to play football with both the Intermediate and Junior teams. Eoghan was very popular with his team mates and this tragic news is keenly felt by all members of our Club, but especially by those players and mentors who knew him well.
We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to his parents Gerry and Marie and to his brothers Stephen and Andrew and to all the extended Culligan family.
“May we take this opportunity of extending our sympathies to all the families of Eoghan’s friends who also lost their lives in this terrible tragedy and to wish those who are injured eventual recovery to full health.”

Typical Beckham soaking up the limelight and giving us tears, Scholes gets subbed last week in his final game after a greater career and just jogs off, no fuss
I like Beckham as much as the next fella but this is way OTT!
It shows how popular he is and how well he is respected by his peers. He won leagues wherever he went, no coincidence. A great professional.
In fairness, while not the most gifted player, he made the most of what he had both on and off the field. Not the first footballer to use his image well, but brought the marketing of footballers and their clubs to a whole new level. Football is a business whether we like it or not, ad this guy is good for business.
Send off a bit OTT, but he helped pave the way for making his teammates a lot of money from endorsements, put more emphasis on Ligue 1 and PSG. Crowd appreciate that too.
I hear he says he is still available for England if they need him , in his high pitched voice “I can never retire from England I love my country “
