May He Rest in Peace.

Des will be removed from The Sharkey Funeral Home, Ballaghaderreen on Tuesday at 10.30am to St. Joseph’s Church, Urlaur arriving for Mass of the Resurrection at 11.30am, followed by cremation in Lakelands Crematorium, Cavan. However, in line with Government and H.S.E advice regarding public gatherings, a small private funeral will be held.

For those who would have liked to attend the Mass but cannot due to the current restrictions, Des’s Mass will be streamed - Here

Family flowers only please.

The Gallagher and Egan families understand and appreciate that people would like to offer their condolences, we would suggest you use the private on-line condolence page.
