About Vincent O'Donoghue
Lived 1900 – 1972 (aged 72). Vincent O'Donoghue was an Irish.
Michael Vincent O’Donoghue (18 May 1900 – 29 May 1972), was the 17th president of the Gaelic Athletic Association (1952–1955).
Born in Portumna, Galway, the younger of twins, O’Donoghue was the son of an RIC man, and grew up in a variety of places in Ireland. Although a member of the RIC, his father participated in GAA games, usually under assumed names, O’Donoghue worked closely with Michael O’Neill, whose killing led to the Dunmanway killings; O’Donoghue's witness statement was later used to deny any sectarian motivation in the killings.
