Neil Boyle Benefit Fund

Neil Boyle is the son of Kathleen Boyle, formally of Magherroarty and the late Philly Neily Boyle, Arranmore. At the age of 33 Neil had everything to live for, he was skipper and engineer on the fishing vessel “Glor na dTonn” and fished out of Galway. On the 25th September 2002 this was sadly brought to an end when he was involved in a serious road accident which left him paralysed and with brain damage. He is currently being cared for at St. Conal’s rehabilitation unit in Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. His mother, Kathleen, has been at his bedside since the accident but would prefer to care for Neil at the family home on Arranmore. This will involve modifications to their home as well as the expense of buying specialised equipment and transport to help care for Neil.

The investigation into the accident found that it happened due to Neil suffering a brain haemorrhage just before the accident. Neil was the driver of the car and had fully comprehensive insurance but the insurance company has decided that it was an “act of God” and have refused to pay any compensation. Because of this a fundraising committee along with a trust fund has been set up to help Neil during the years of care that will be required.

If you feel you could help out in any way by organising a fundraising event or making a contribution to the fund, please make donations to the
