News reached us yesterday evening of the sudden passing of John Doyle who is well know in local gaa circles throughut Dublin as lead singer with ballad group 'Mulligan'.  John was on a short trip to Austria where he died suddenly.  He was a very devoted GAA supporter and there are countless secretary's reports from Ballyboden St. Endas where John is thanked for providing the music and craic, and most notably for his contribution towards making the Senior Citizens party possible every year.I am posting this here because of the sudden passing of a truly nice gentleman as I am sure there are many who may not know.  To his family and friends, sincere sympathy.  R.I.P. John.

Hard to believe that it is a week since the sad passing of John.  Due to the circumstances, arrangements are that funeral mass is in Knocklyon tomorow  ( beside Superquinn) - 11am for anyone wanting to attend. 
Thanks very much.

Hello Bud:
I was a Spanish student in Dublin 20 years ago. And nowadays I am looking for my local family.
The family father is called John Doyle and he had wife (I don't remember her name) a daughter called Orla (she borned in 1975 )and a son call's Ciaran (he is younger than she).
They lived in Dublin. In Coolamber Park Dublin.
He play's in a group of music called Mulligan's.
Do you know if the person for that I am looking is the same who died in Austria?
Do you know if they live in the same place?
Do you know how I can contact with then?
Regards
Alvaro

Yes, it is the same John Doyle that sadly died suddenly.
You could email the club at    info@bodengaa.ie
The phone number is   353 1 4947950 and you could ask for Ned and (if he is in good form) he will help you.
Ballyboden are playing a championship match tonight SF against St Marys so there will be people in the clubhouse.

If you do not make contact mail me at fennetec@eircom.net and I will help you out.

Thanks.
