'Frank Dolphin was the Intelligence Officer for the West Cavan IRA during the War of Independence'

Oral fluid tests found traces of cocaine, opiates and cannabis, while he was also a disqualified driver.

While Councillor Brendan Fay says the problem is nation wide, he believes the children of West Cavan are "forgotten."

Inspectors raised concern over risks identified for seven children.

In a heartfelt tribute, Corlough GAA stated, "Our hearts are breaking for a young life that had so much to give to this world."

A decision is expected in July.
