Former Donegal GAA County Board chairman Fergus McGee has been awarded the Lifetime Service award by Ulster GAA in Belfast on Friday night. 

The St Eunan’s clubman held the role of Oifigeach na Gaeilge in Donegal while he also had a stint as Secretary of the Ulster Scór Committee. 

He later joined the Ulster Council and was Chair of the Ulster Language Committee.
