Renowned GAA commentator has died aged 93
A career spanning more than 60 years brought the Kerry broadcaster’s unique voice into the homes of many throughout the country.
Seán Óg Ó hAilpín - the Cork hurler who prompted one of Ó Muircheartaigh’s most famous one liners: “his father’s from Fermanagh, his mother’s from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold” - was one of the commentator’s many fans. “He transported Croke Park into our living rooms,” said Ó hAilpín. “He did that for decades. Even when games were on tv, and I was out and was driving and couldn’t watch a game and was listening to Micheál on the radio, it was like I was watching the game on the windscreen.”Bruce Springsteen concert in Cork: Tell us your verdict
