Sincere sympathy to the Gaughan and Donohue families on Paul's death may he rest in eternal peace. We knew Paul in New York in the late 80s and early 90s, and again later on when he returned to Mayo. Spending time with Paul was always interesting and memorable! Despite all the time he spent in Chicago and New York, he was a Mayo man through and through, a great fan of Mayo football, but most especially he was a Shraigh man! Beannacht Dé lena anam uasal. Go dtí go gcasfar ar a chéile arís muid.....slán a chara.

Deepest sympathy to the Gaughan and Donoghue family on the passing of Paul. I met Paul 1984 Gaelic Park, Bronx, we started to chat, never met him before, he said to me you're Anthony Lallys son, then he told me who he was, we became great friends after that. Paul was in the Irish and USA army, a great man to have a chat with and we'll read loved where he was born, great history, great gentleman, rip my friend, may the light of the world shine upon you amen.

Deepest sympathy to Paul's family on his passing. I remember Paul from my visits to Aras Deirbhile when my late mother was resident there. Paul had always a friendly and compassionate word for all who passed by him, seated in his armchair near the front door pensively watching the world go by. Rest in peace Paul you will be missed by all who had the pleasure of making your acquaintance.

Margaret O Sullivan-Lally, Ballina/ Shraigh
My sincere condolences to all Paul’s relatives. May he rest in peace, indeed a great Shraigh Man who was always proud of his roots.
I returned from The Uk in 1999 and was walking across the bridge n Ballina when this tall good looking man walked in my direction, I had to stop and ask if he was related to Peter Donoghue, Shraigh and he said yes and proceeded to ask if I was Lally and there our conversation began. It was always a pleasure to meet him thereafter and lovely that he had made the decision to retire to Belmullet and certainly made it his home. I pray Paul rests in peace and retires now to his heavenly home to be with all his deceased relatives.
