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.
