"A Giant of the West" (certain sections © The Mayo News)

The passing of Denis Gallagher was a huge shock for the parish of Achill. For many years Denis had been the focus of all development activity in the parish, using his skills, experience, contacts and above all, immense energy, to solve problems and further the cause of the area.

Mr. Ahern described Denis Gallagher as “truly a Giant of the West” who, throughout his political career, fought vigorously to advance the issues he loved dearly – the Irish language, the fishing industry and Gaelic games.

A national teacher by profession, Denis first entered public life as a member of Mayo County Council. He became a full-time public representative when he was elected to the Dáil in 1973. He remained there until 1989 when he retired from national politics.

Denis is mourned by his wife, Hannah, his twelve children, Brendan, Denis, Micheál, Padraic and Terry; his daughters, Mary, Caitríona, Áine, Nora, Síle, Mairéad and Bríd; brothers, Eoin, Brendan, Fr. Michael and Terry; sisters, Mrs. Mary Joyce and Sr. Caitlín of the Medical Missionaries of Mary, thirty grandchildren, extended family and many friends.
