On behalf of all of the students, parents, teachers, ancillary staff, former staff and pupils of St.Munchin’s College, I would like to express my deepest sympathies and condolences to all of the McNamara family and to the clergy and wider community of the Diocese of Limerick on the very sad passing of Fr. Leslie.

Les was a true gentleman to everyone be it in the classroom, staff room, rugby  pitches and from the altar.
His passion, drive  and vision as teacher, principal and president of St.Munchin’s will forever live through the College motto ‘Veritas in Caritate’
May he rest in Peace.
