Una Walsh (Galway) RIP
The Bridge World has lost another ‘Legend’ – our good friend Una Walsh has passed away. Una was a past President of the CBAI and also of the Irish Bridge Union. In her spare time she was secretary of the CBAI, secretary of the Western Region and a founder of the Galway Bridge Centre and for many years she singlehandedly produced the Irish Bridge Journal. Una was a sister of the late Paddy Walsh and Aunt to Clodagh and David. Una was dedicated to the promotion of Bridge both locally and nationally and was especially kind, generous and encouaging to junior players. The world of Bridge owes her a great dept of gratitude. We extend our deepest sympathies to Clodagh, David, her sisters Ann, Mabel, Mary, Patricia and her brother Eamon. May she Rest in Peace.
