Natalie McNally’s family emotional after completing charity walk to Croke Park

A brother of Natalie McNally has praised the “unbelievable” support they got during a five-day fundraising walk from Armagh to Dublin to coincide with the All-Ireland football final.

Ms McNally’s family arrived at a bustling Croke Park stadium on Sunday afternoon ahead of the championship match between Galway and Armagh.

Niall McNally said it was an emotional day for them.

“Natalie would have been here if she was still alive and obviously the last time she was here was against Galway and they lost that day, but hopefully she’ll be shining down on us today,” he told PA.

Natalie McNally, 32, was 15 weeks pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at her home in Lurgan in December 2022.

Her family have been vocal in campaigning for action to tackle domestic and gender-based violence.
