Obituary: Dinny Lowry, Kilmessan
Dinny Lowry, a familiar face in Kilmessan, has passed away. He was a former goalkeeper with St Patrick's, Bohemians, and Sligo Rovers football clubs.
Lowry and his late wife, Dolores, moved to Kilmessan over two decades ago, after he retired from his job with Dublin City Council. They had fallen in love with the village while visiting relatives.
Lowry won a senior international cap with the Republic of Ireland in 1962, against Austria in Dalymount Park, Dublin. He came off the bench to replace injured goalkeeper Alan Kelly.
“When Alan got injured I remember saying ‘Oh my God, I’m going to be going on’,”
Lowry recalled in a 2008 interview with the Meath Chronicle.
