It is with deepest sympathy that National College of Ireland (NCI) share the news of the death of former student Eamonn Tsekiri.
Eamonn was a student on our BA (Honours) in Business and a valued member of our college community along with the local NEIC community having attended St. Joseph's Co-Educational National School in Eastwall. The entire NCI community is in mourning at this terrible loss and our thoughts are with Eamonn's family and friends.
Professor Danielle McCartan-Quinn, Vice Dean of the School of Business, says: “On behalf of the School of Business at NCI, I’d like to express the condolences of the Faculty to Eamonn’s mother, Lucky, and brother, Daniel. I know how deeply affected his classmates will also be. My sincere sympathy to his family and many friends.”
The funeral will take place on Friday 21st March in St. Joseph's Church, East Wall arriving for 11 o'clock followed by burial in Glasnevin Cemetery. If you would like to support the family, you can donate to the fundraiser via GoFundMe.
