The news of the passing of Jim Forbes saddened all of those fortunate to work with him over the years. Jim served in numerous roles for the Cork County Board up to and including County Chairman from 2003 to 2005.

Jim was elected as Public Relations Officer for the Munster Council in 2008 for a 3 year term, during which time he was awarded the Gaelic Writers Association PRO of the Year award in May 2010 for his outstanding work.

In recent years, Jim was heavily involved in the Rebel Óg underage structure in Cork.

An unassuming character, Jim was respected throughout the GAA world and beyond for the efficient manner in which he dealt with whatever task he was assigned to. We pass on our sincere condolences to Jim’s family and his wide circle of friends.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
