Blackrock and Cork legend John Horgan, who died yesterday, was a member of the three-in-a-row All-Ireland winning senior hurling team of 1976-78 and was also an All-Ireland winner in his first season in 1970.

Viral star John Horgan has been invited to perform at Thomond Park this weekend before the PRO12 meeting of Munster and Connacht.

The country’s first press ombudsman has officially retired and described the role as one of the most rewarding of his distinguished career.
