Dermot Begley

Dermot died very peacefully on Wednesday, 16 September 2026 in the wonderful care of the Galway Hospice with his much-loved family by his side. Predeceased by his parents Jack and Maureen. Deeply loved by his wife Siobhán and daughter Clodagh, by his brother Michael (Ethna), and sister Jakki, son-in-law Eugene and grandson Leo, who brought so much love and happiness to his family from the day he arrived. Dermot is deeply mourned by his sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, nephews and nieces, grandnieces and grandnephews, by the extended Begley and Smith families, neighbours and friends.

Dermot walked life’s course with warmth and kindness

A true gentleman whose calming presence

will be missed beyond measure

May the fairways be endless and may he rest in peace
