GAA President Christy Cooney has offered his sympathies to the family of Michael (Mick) Frawley who passed away on Sunday.
Frawley had a long and distinguished involvement with both Tipperary and the GAA nationally and was a passionate supporter of football in the Premier County.
He served as a Trustee of the GAA, Chairman of Munster Council, Chairman of Tipperary County Board, Chairman of West Tipperary Board and Chairman of Tipperary Football Board.
He was also a life President of the West Tipperary Board.
He was sitting member of the Association’s bye-laws committee up until the time of his passing.
The GAA President said: ‘It was with great sadness that I learnt of the passing of Mick and I offer my heartfelt condolences to both his family and his wide circles of friends and admirers.
‘Mick’s involvement with the GAA from his club Emly right up to national level, touched on so many areas of the Association and his contribution to the promotion of our games and activities was nothing less than immense.
‘He took a particular interest in the well being and development of football and Tipperary football specifically, and I know he prided himself in the recent progress of his county team.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughters Margaret, Mary, Cathriona and Anne, sons Mike and Ger, his sister Nora and his extended family.'
