Local sporting hero Cyril Chaney has passed away in his 80s after a lifetime of community work and sporting achievements.
The 87-year-old Finglas man had ran 64 marathons as of 2019 and was previously thrown a reception in the Mansion House in recognition of his support for elderly people in his community.
Twitter users paid tribute to a “legend” who continued participating in sport and community advocacy up until recent years. His son Paul previously spoke about Cyril’s charity work for older people in Finglas and the impact it had on residents.
