“IS FADA AN turas é ó Fiji go Corcaigh agus ó Corcaigh go Pairc an Chrocaigh.”

Long before Bryan Cullen gave Copper Face Jacks the best two seconds of free advertising it has ever had, and long before Jimmy was winning matches, Sean Óg Ó hAilpín delivered a speech with one perfect line which will never be matched, bettered or forgotten.

Maith thú, Sean Óg. Thanks for the memories.
