Una Walsh (Galway) RIP

Una Walsh 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.

September 2021 Results

After nearly 30 years as Chief Executive of the CBAI, the young Fermanagh lad, Paul Porteous is enjoying his first week of retirement.  A Master Bridge player, an incredible organiser, an efficient administrator, a great communicator, a patient caring listener and throw in a good sense of humour and an affable personality and you have the successful ingredients to help us understand how one man was able to steer the second biggest association in the country (after the GAA) along a unified and steady path.

It has been said that he knows all 24000 of us by name and we can well believe it.  We say ‘Thank You Paul’ for your outstanding and generous service to Bridge in Ireland over the last 30 years and we can think of many players, tournament directors, club secretaries and regional secretaries that Paul has helped over the years with his encouragement and calmness when faced with ‘delicate’ situations.  Paul knew what we were thinking before the thought even entered our minds so he knew when to be ‘good cop’ and when to be ‘bad cop’.

Irish Bridge – North, South, East and West is certainly in a better place now than it was 30 years ago – we have a better standard of player, we have well trained tournament directors, we have a great Teaching and Youth program, we have a great communication structure – and without doubt Paul Porteous has been the driving force behind these and other progressive ideas – often involving untold hours of work above and beyond the call of duty.  His many talents have also been noticed by our European friends where he is currently the Secretary of the European Bridge League.

We wish Paul, Maureen and all the Porteous family many years of Happy Retirement – Well Deserved Sir – and we wish your successor Dermot O’Brien the best of luck – Dermot is fully aware that he has a hard act to follow.
