Tributes paid after sad passing of 'true Offaly Gael' The late Bill Dolan '); '); TRIBUTES have been paid to the late Bill Dolan, a stalwart of the Offaly Association in Dublin over many decades.

A native of Clonlyn, Belmont, tribute has been paid to him by Pat Teehan, the Chairman of Leinster GAA Council, and a former Chairman and Secretary of the Offaly Association (Dublin). Extending sympathy to the deceased's family, Pat said “it would an understatement to describe Bill as one of life’s gentlemen. His caring and gentle nature endeared him to all, who had the pleasure of his company. “
