Seán McGoldrick, formerly of the Sunday World, received the Lifetime Achievement award while Munster GAA's Dermot Lynch was named PRO of the Year.
The Gaelic Writers’ Association annual awards dinner took place at the Iveagh Garden Hotel, Dublin on Friday night with Clare’s John Conlon, Kerry’s Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh, Cork’s Hannah Looney and Armagh’s Niall Grimley honoured as Personality of the Year in their respective codes.
Tom Dempsey was a star turn on the Wexford side, which landed the 1996 All-Ireland title, a first since 1968. The All Star has gone on to forge out a career with RTE as a highly respected analyst. The awards also recognised the achievements of Seán McGoldrick, the legendary Sunday World GAA correspondent and former Irish Press writer, who also worked for the Irish and Sunday Independent, covering Gaelic football, hurling and boxing in particular with a passion, insight and fearlessness that few could match.
Armagh’s Niall Grimley and his family suffered an unimaginable tragedy just over a year ago when his brother, Patrick, his wife Ciera and a close friend, Ciara McElvanna were killed in a car accident.
