Lisa Orsi won the senior ladies football cup at the Asian Gaelic Games in the months before her death
The father of Derry woman Lisa Orsi, a Gaelic footballer who died during a holiday in Indonesia eight years ago, has spoken of his delight in helping bring the GAA World Games to her home town.
In the years since Lisa's death, Mr Orsi has poured himself into the Live Life Lisa Orsi Foundation - an organisation set up to honour his daughter's life and values, with an inclusive message and the grassroots, community spirit of the GAA at the forefront. "I realised that when Lisa was in trouble, they all understood that they were a team, they were all there for Lisa, and they were also there for each other."
As for his efforts in helping to bring the World Games to Derry, he said: "The amount of people that I approached was enormous. I knew that if you're going to be serious about something then you need to keep approaching as many people as you can, keep putting that fishing line out there. He added: "These young people are going to come here from all over the world, come into Derry and have a look at what we've got to offer. And there are opportunities - let's bring these new ideas into Derry. I was delighted with the sponsors of the Games, [FRS Recruitment] a recruitment agency, because that's just perfect.
