Tar éis an fhógra maidir lenár gcara, Pádraig Mac Briartaigh ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas ó chroí a ghabháil do Phádraig as a dhíograis ar feadh na mblianta. Dhírigh sé a shaol le mar chuid d'Fhoireann Dhún na nGall ar dtús ag a chéad chluiche i gcoinne foireann Aontroma ar an 22 Bealtaine, 2011 (agus d’imir sé i gcluiche mionúir anseo fosta), tháinig sé ar an pháirc 167 amantaí idir sin agus an cluiche ceannais na hÉireann i mbliana, le 15 chúl agus 465 pointe don chontae. Is laoch den scoth é Pádraig Mac Briartaigh lena ghairm bheatha idir chontae, agus ba é Pádraig an chéad chaptaen Dhún na nGall a chuir an corn Angla-cheilteach san aer faoi dhó. Bhuaigh sé an Angla-cheilteach faoi seacht ar an iomlán agus é ar fhoireann Dhún na nGall, an méid is mó riamh d’imreoir as Tír Chonaill, agus dar ndóigh an bua sa chluiche ceannais na hÉireann i 2021 fosta.
Go raibh míle maith agat a Phádraig, guímid gach rath ort sa todhchaí agus beidh cuimhní croíúla againn go deo ó d’am le CLG Dhún na nGall anseo i gCill Chartha.
Following the news of his retirement from intercounty football we would like to acknowledge and thank Paddy McBrearty. It was an incredible service for the county ever since his debut against Antrim on May 22, 2011 (where he also played in the minor match) and the 167 appearances up to this year's All Ireland Final, scoring 15 goals and 465 points for his county in a remarkable intercounty carer and becoming the first player from the club to lift the Anglo-Celt as captain not once but twice and winning seven over all which is the most for a Donegal player and not forgetting an All Ireland in 2012 win.
Go raibh míle maith agat a Phádraig, guímid gach rath ort sa todhchaí agus beidh cuimhní croíúla againn go deo ó d’am le CLG Dhún na nGall anseo i gCill Chartha.
