“We have been in contact with his parents and they have requested that we all understand their need for privacy at this difficult time. Offers of support have been pouring in and are greatly appreciated. “For now all GAA activity in the South Sligo area has been postponed. Games elsewhere and the games involving county teams will proceed as we believe that where possible it is best to bring people together to meet, talk and remember within their normal GAA environment.

Yeats County Inn wrote: “Our village is stunned at the passing of Red Og Murphy, an inspiration and a role model to the local young generation and loved by the older generation for being such a talented footballer and wonderful, polite and gifted lad. Curry so proud of him and hurting badly tonight. RIP.”

"The community is devastated here. The parish of Curry in Sligo, the parish that he played for, the community is absolutely devastated. "The community is rallying around here big time. There are ten or 15 people in the community centre, cleaning it and getting it ready for the events that'll happen in the next couple of days."
