Who was Fr. Kevin Mullan?
Fr. Kevin, a former Derry Feis institution secretary who served as chairperson up until his death, had made his regular Easter visit to the feis just a few weeks prior.
As a newly ordained priest at St. Patrick’s in Pennyburn, he was requested to take over the reins from the late Fr. Willie McGaughey, which marked the beginning of his relationship with the feis. His experience competing in the feis as an Irish dancer made him a qualified candidate for the position of feis secretary.
In November 2020, Fr. Kevin Mullan, the Drumquin parish priest, announced his retirement. He was highly recognized and regarded for his intercommunity and ecumenical work, and he generously gave care and assistance to individuals who were harmed by the Market Street bombing in 1998.
Fr. Mullan expressed his choice in the parish newsletter as being a “sad one,” but he appreciated the locals for the “hospitality in their hearts” that they had shown him over his many years of residence.
He said,
“It has been a sad decision to make and there has been a tear or two,”
“You are so easy and pleasant to work with and you come forward when help is required or form those various groupings that make the parish run smoothly.”
“Together, we have made developments that should see the parish some distance into the future.”
