The Directors of Eskra Community Association wish to express their deepest sympathies to the O'Hagan and Mimnagh families on the passing of Lizzy O’Hagan.

​The O’Hagan family are dedicated supporters of our association, consistently standing behind the many events organised and run by the ECA.

Lizzy’s influence is clearly evident in the spirit of service and community shown by her family, and her loss will be felt by all who knew her.

​Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband Patsy, her children Shane, Ciaran, Damian, Claire, TJ, and Brendan, and her entire family circle at this difficult time.
