A short message on behalf of the club

Mark:


Dee's untimely death came as a great shock to all of us.

UCD Canoe Club meant an awful lot to Dee, and Dee meant an awful lot to the club. To seperate Dee and what I consider to be the core ethos of the club is impossible. This club is about having fun. It's about having fun through paddling, partying and forging friendships. Dee was an enthusiastic and talented paddler, and a great person to go boating with. She was always up for a night out and never far from the fun. She has left an indellible mark on the club.

Our sympathies are with Dee's Family.

Mitch:
Only knew Dee for a short while but she was always the life and soul of our days and nights out as far as i could see.
Mitch.

Pia!:
I dunno what everyone else thinks but i just wanted to write down my favourite memory of Dee and try and get everyone else to do the same in this post. So far only Mitch has written up and this topic will be forgotten if we don't keep writing in it. I'd love to hear of everyone's favourite memory of Deedee and maybe we could put them all together into the Dee Scrapbook!
Anywho, here's mine...

Ok-we were all getting drunk in the NRE bar in Uganda. The music was shite. They'd just been playing the same crap playlist over and over for nearly two weeks. Killian and Dee have been bitching about the music for hours so Dee decides to rip the old iPod out of the speakers and sticks hers in instead. Suddenly "I punch you" (with the fist of my COCK!) starts playing. Everyone jumps up dancing and starts going mental. Dee hops onto the bar and starts breaking it down Laois style as we all order shots of ZAPPA!! Next thing, i look at Dee and she's actually hopped behind the bar-kicked the barmen out and is screaming: "Lads, i'm the bar lady! FUCK OFF!!" Even though there is "technically" a $50 fine for going behind the bar, the barmen were so shocked by this sudden turn of events that they just sit back and let her do all the work. Immediately she whips out a shit load of shot glasses and starts handing me free zappas (dancing all the while and singing "I PUNCH YOU WITH THE FIST OFF MY COCK!) and screaming at complete randomers- "What do you want!? I'm the bar lady!!!THis continued until the barmen realised that Dee was not a very good bar lady and they were losing lots of money. From that point on "I Punch You" became our Uganda theme tune-all thanx to Dee and her loutish behaviour!!

(if anyone who was there that night remembers something else feel free to put it in-it's a pretty hazy memory due to all the Zappas!)

Canuala:
wooooh ooop pia!
shes right u know, i read that post and laughed and cried....i think its easy to get bogged down in the loss of dee, and forget the reason why we're all so sad; cause our deedee isnt around anymore. deedee shouldn't be defined by her death.

so a memory of dee....
        i met dee properly last year at kerry, i had crased her private house that night, hearing thats where the craic was at, and joined a game of slaps with kylie, lisa, sean, davy, keith, perhaps eoin powell, jen bell, pia and kill...there may have been others, but the memories are hazy, im sure ul forgive me. Anyway, dee, i had been told was sleeping, reenergising for the drinking that was to come, and the slaps had disbanded, as everyone had become too drunkenly distracted by things like eggs and collanders. Killian put on dee's laptop, and my next memory is dancing on the sofa beside someone with crazy curly hair, then being chucked into the back of ciaran's car with said curly haired dancer and screaming/singing (you decide) the whole way to the ross inn.
the next morning i discovered that this amazing talented dancer/singer (whos skill is perhaps equalled only by my own) was deirdre conroy. we were sitting in the kitchen trying to discover where the disco lights had come from in the living room the night before:
dee: you know i was convinved that there were flashing lights and other thingys here last night
me: yeah i know, i mean i thought there was strobe lighting or something....
enter killian : girls that was me flicking the overhead light on and off...
dee and nuala: ohhh...

to my deedee...may she disco dance for ever

kmck:
When you gave dee a compliment you got that smile. Always brightened my day.

In her first year I lived across from dee in Roebuck castle and every so often you get a call looking for a hoover. First time it happened, she arrives at the door and I give her a hoover, mop and bucket and some cleaning supplies. She looks and says I only need a hoover and I say have you checked everywhere yet the canoe club was in your house. The answer was no. Five hours later dee arrives back at the door, thanks me for the hoover and the rest as she had to do alot of mopping and cleaning.

Some pms from dee, this one was after myself and kylie turned up last summer before uganda at about 3 in the morning
