Tánaiste Micheál Martin says he had ‘wonderful insights into the game’ and was ‘part of all our lives here in Cork’
“He came from a deep background himself in GAA- -he understood it instinctively and he had the respect of all those involved in Gaelic games and the world of sport more generally.
“I think people in sport in general will mourn his passing and again to his family, Colette, Claire and Emily, our hearts go out to them in terms of the enormous loss to them on this sad day.” “He was extremely witty and sometimes some of this witticisms were a bit on the edge but I think that’s what people enjoyed about him – he was a great commentator over the years.
A popular voice on C103 for his passionate and colourful commentary on both intercounty and club matches in Cork, Mr Palmer also wrote a popular regular sports column in The Echo newspaper.
