From hogan stand:

A group has come together in Roscommon with plans to erect a life-size monument of the late Dermot Earley in Castlerea.

The former Roscommon great, who managed both his native county and Kildare, passed away last year. Local community members have joined forces to create a lasting memorial to Dermot Earley.



A committee has been formed to include members of Gorthaganny Community Development Company and members of the local community to organise a fitting tribute.

Feelystone, Boyle, have been engaged to design and erect a life-size monument of Dermot representing his football career. The monument will be erected adjacent to his family home in Gorthaganny, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon.

It is planned to unveil the memorial monument on Saturday 27th August 2011 at 11.30 am.

A fundraising plan has been launched and those involved are asking for donations to help fund the project.

Well we haven't had too many heroes in recent times but Dermot left his mark. Great tribute to the man. Delighted to read of this.

Nice idea just hope its not like the one of Christy Ring outside of Cloyne pitch which reminds me of a statue of an ancient greek god gone wrong.

I'd love to see large pictures on the walls of Hawkfield of some of our legends e.g. Dermot Senior and Junior , Ollie Crinnigan, Glenn with the Leinster, Rainbow even the old pics when we won All-Irelands.

Might inspire the youngsters and older county players walking through the halls on the way to training each week.

Nice what they are doing in Ros.

That would be a great idea sam. It would be like the Premium Level in croker, there are loads of old large pictures along the corridors.
