A native of Newtown, Nenagh, Nuala worked for Munster GAA as an administrator for 32 years, following in the footsteps of her father Donie who served as Secretary of Munster Council from 1977 to 2004, and her grandfather Rody who served as one of the Tipperary delegates to Munster Council.

Following her untimely passing, Munster Council voted unanimously to remember Nuala’s significant contribution to the GAA by renaming the heretofore Munster Room to become “Seomra Nuala Ní Nialláin”.

In front of a large crowd of Munster Council officers, staff members and Council members, in addition to members of the Nealon family, Munster GAA Chairperson Ger Ryan officially launched the new meeting room in Nuala’s honour.

Speaking on behalf of the Nealon family, Donie Nealon spoke of the appreciation the family have felt for the many kind messages received since Nuala’s death, and how grateful they were for Nuala to be remembered by the Munster Council in this way.
