I, like so many was very saddened to hear about the passing of the late great “Micko.” He was much loved & admired by so many people. My condolences to his wife Geraldine and to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. I’m sure he’ll have a good ol’ chat about the upcoming championship with his fellow GAA & Kerry stalwart- Micheál O’ Muireacheartaigh. The likes of him will never be seen again.
