“Brother Dormer has given a lifetime of service to the promotion of Gaelic games, not just in Limerick but in postings in Lismore and Wexford,” stated Lyons.
“Most of his teaching career was spent in Doon CBS and Sexton Street, where he has nurtured and encouraged generations of young hurlers. This is an honour richly deserved and evidence of the esteem in which he is held throughout the country.”
