Last Wednesday 15th November Oliver Mc Kenna (Cycling Ireland Volunteer and Commissaire) past away peacefully at the St. Francis Hospice in Raheny, Dublin. A long time friend and gentleman, who had a deep inspiring passion for our beloved sport…May you rest in peace Oliver, we will miss you..

I met Oliver for the first time at the Tour of Ulster about 14 years ago when I shared a room with him in Dungannon as, we both worked in the race, also both where champions in snoring, I think he won that night! We became friends, and since then, we met at stage races many times after, the last time this year at the Ras Mumhan in Co-Kerry at Easter. Stage races will be not the same, and whoever will do his job as PA radio man has big boots to fill, I got the news of his passing while in Belgium, and not able to attend his funeral last Saturday, so hereby my sincere condolences to his wife Mary Jo, sisters Nuala and Úna, brothers Henry and Martin, family members and his friends in the cycling fraternity. Rest In Peace Oliver, till we meet again…
