Statement from Cathaoirleach, Senator Mark Daly on the passing of Mick O’Dwyer

Micko was a remarkable man and will go down in the history books as one of the greatest figures to ever be involved in the GAA.

He excelled as a player and subsequently as a manager, bringing levels of success to every venture he embarked upon. He is remembered not only in Kerry but by the people of Clare, Kildare, Laois and Wicklow for the influence and success which he brought to their counties.

I want to express my sincere condolences to Micko's family, former players and teammates, his many, many friends and the loyal fans who got to enjoy his legacy both on and off the pitch.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
