Former Ulster GAA president and inter-county referee Michael Greenan has died.
Mr Greenan served as the 32nd President of the Ulster Council from 2004 to 2006 and represented Ulster as delegate to the National Games Committee.
Cavan man Greenan was a player with Drumalee and won club Junior and Intermediate championship medals during his days on the pitch.
He also represented his native county, playing in three-straight Ulster finals from 1967 to 1969.
Mr Greenan also had a distinguished career as a referee, overseeing provincial finals in 1985, 86 and 89 while he was also the man in the middle for one of the GAA's most bizarre games - the 1987 National League quarter-final between Cork and Dublin which went to extra-time.
Cork famously refused to come back out for the extra period which left Dublin alone on the Croke Park pitch as Barney Rock tapped the ball into an empty goal to seal the Boys in Blues' place in the league final.
In a statement, Ulster GAA expressed its sadness at Mr Greenan's passing. "As a member of Cavan County Board, he held a number of roles, including Secretary from 1976-1981, and was also a selector with the senior football team in 1976, 1978 and 1983. He holds the unique distinction of presenting the Anglo Celt Cup three times in Croke Park during his term as Uachtarán Comhairle Uladh," the statement read.
"Ulster GAA expresses profound sorrow at Miceál's passing and we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Carmel, his children, Sonia, Cara, Aoife, Michael, Donal, his brother Eamonn, his sister Noreen and the wider Greenan family circle during this time of great loss.
"We remember also his colleagues at Drumalee GAA and in Cavan GAA. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all."
