An Irish man has died while on holiday in northern Spain.
Kieran Griffin, 41, from Knocklyon in Dublin, was found dead yesterday in San Sebastian.
He travelled to the city on Thursday with a group of friends.
Mr Griffin was a lifelong member of Ballyboden St Enda's GAA club.
In a tribute on Facebook, the club said: "Kieran has been a member of Ballyboden St Endas since his childhood playing both hurling and football from a young age.
"He played Minor level during 2000 and was part of the "Eddie Eagles" Junior team that won the Treble in 2004. Kieran was also an avid pool player and recently won the Ballyboden St Endas Club Doubles Pool Competition.
"Kieran and the Griffin Family are heavily involved in Ballyboden St. Endas for decades and Kieran's father Danny was Sponsorship Manager for over 25 years until recently retired.
"The Griffin Family are well known in GAA circles across Dublin, Kerry, and Cavan.
"Everyone at Ballyboden St Endas would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Kieran’s heartbroken parents Danny and Josephine, his brothers Shay, Donál, Paul, Padráig, Michael, his sister Ann and his partner Sheena, and to the extended Griffin family including Denise, Tara, Sinead, Grace and Steven."
Separately, a spokesperson said Mr Griffin was an integral member of the club. He was "so proud" to have won last Friday's pool competition, and will be greatly missed by the whole community, she said.
A minute's silence was held in memory of Mr Griffin at all senior St Endas games today, including at Parnell Park where Ballyboden lined out against Na Fianna in the Dublin Senior Hurling Championship.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has been contacted for a statement.
