The late Dave Billings
The Comhairle Ardoideachais Annual Convention scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed as a mark of respect to the late Dave Billings.
A statement from from the CA reads: 'It is with shock and deep sadness Comhairle Ardoideachais (CA), and all those involved in Higher Education GAA, learned of the untimely passing of Dave Billings (UCD GAA). A stalwart of the Dublin GAA scene and the Higher Education GAA sector throughout his life as a player, student, team mentor and administrator, Dave will be sorely missed throughout the GAA community.
'In his role as UCD GAA Executive, Dave made an invaluable contribution to the association on the Belfield Campus and was immersed in the running of all the University's sides, from the Sigerson and Fitzgibbon teams to the Junior and Fresher C teams. On many occasions he accommodated the use of the University's facilities to CA, HE Clubs, GAA Clubs, Post Primary and Primary Schools, often at extremely short notice.
'Comhairle Ardoideachais, on behalf of all those involved in Higher Education GAA, would like to extend our condolences to Ann, the Billings family, all those involved with UCD, St.Vincents, Dublin GAA and his many friends.
'As a mark of respect, the Annual Convention of Comhairle Ardoideachais, which was scheduled for this Saturday has been postponed.'
