Jim Gavin will have the right to bring goods into Dublin through the city gates, without paying customs duties

That series of Kerry wides in the second half, Eoin Murchan’s goal in the “Championship quarter” where Dublin have been known to be so powerful, Stephen Cluxton’s save from Stephen O’Brien when the margin was three points.

Dublin great Charlie Redmond has insisted there’ll be no ‘resentment’ if Diarmuid Connolly beats a lionheart performer like Bernard Brogan to an All-Ireland final bench spot.

It didn’t garner any headlines but Jim Gavin also hit the centenary mark in this year’s Leinster championship.

The GAA world yesterday began to pay its respects to Dublin football great Anton O’Toole, 68, following his death after a 15-month battle with cancer.

One of the most interesting things in life was receiving a phone call from Eugene McGee. He didn’t waste time with small talk or even with much by the way of greetings.

Longford man McGee guided the Faithful County to their famous 1982 All-Ireland final win, denying Kerry the five-in-a-row, as well as three consecutive Leinster titles and two All-Ireland Club SFC crowns with UCD.

Mr McGee, who was in his late seventies, passed away in the early hours of this morning.

After succeeding Pat Gilroy in late 2012, it is the third extension the five-time All-Ireland SFC winning boss has enjoyed.

Just months after a riveting 2001 football championship had captured the public imagination with the advent and novelty of the backdoor, Ger Loughnane proclaimed in his book, Raising The Banner: “The biggest problem with hurling is that it is in danger of being swamped by football.

A man who accepted €25 to give a lift to five people who mistakenly thought he was a taxi driver could face a fine of up to €5,000.

A 57-year-old man dozed off on his couch with his arm in a sling but woke to a masked raider striking him with force with a heavy yard brush.

You watched the Mick O’Dwyer documentary. Of course you watched it. The entire country did and fell in love with Micko all over again.

“I make no apologies for it — I’m the guy who wants to bring the Olympics to Dublin.”

They say no-one knows the son quite like the father, though it must be getting increasingly difficult for the elders of Dublin football to identify with their sons’ remarkable achievements.

Croke Park commercial and stadium director Peter McKenna has been overseeing operations at GAA headquarters for 16 years. And his excitement around All-Ireland final day remains as great as ever...

As a man with little interest in previous results under his reign, the merest suggestion that Dublin hold a psychological edge over Kerry doesn’t wash with Jim Gavin.

Twenty games, 18 wins, 2 draws. Thus reads the league and championship record of Jim Gavin’s Dublin since March 7 last year when they drew with Tyrone. How much more is left in this run?

Dublin great Jimmy Keaveney has tipped the present team to double the All-Ireland tally of the great 1970s side he played in.

False modesty may be something Jim Gavin can occasionally leave himself open to being accused of, but no such thing is at play when he insists that Kevin Heffernan’s team of the 70s will always hold pride of place in the Dublin football pantheon.

JIM Gavin quickly shot down comparisons between this current Dublin group and those from the glittering era of the 1970s.

The 1983 All-Ireland football final is famous for many things. The glut of sending-offs, the appalling weather, the ultimate success of the 12 apostles/dirty dozen.

On A lonely bench at Belgrave Park in Rathmines he sat one night. All night long.

Tommy Walsh will not be handed the number three shirt for Kerry’s Munster football championship opener against Tipperary on Sunday, selector Mikey Sheehy has indicated.

It’s not just Marty McFly and Doc Brown who make a connection between 1985 and 2015. Like it was 30 years ago, Dublin and Kerry enter the football championship as the two favourites; Kerry as reigning kingpins and Dublin as the winners of the previous year. 

Robbie Kelleher brings a double perspective to bear on Dublin and the GAA.

When paying tribute to the late Kevin Heffernan, Colm O’Rourke recounted an anecdote which gave a telling insight into the Dublin manager’s brilliance.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Sorry. Really.

Dublin legend Jimmy Keaveney says Paul Galvin can join him in the elite group of players to have won All-Ireland titles after emerging from retirement.

Football pundit John Giles and Brother Kevin Crowley of the Capuchin Day Centre are set to receive the Freedom of the City of Dublin.

A few weeks ago our club, Watty Graham’s Glen, received a request from the St Vincent’s club in Dublin.

DUBLIN GAA footballer Paul Flynn is flying high. Seven months ago, he joined Aer Lingus in employee engagement, working across all the different functions, with managers and employees.

St Vincents (Dublin) 4-12 Castlebar Mitchels (Mayo) 2-11

Hugh Gill is philosophical about the likelihood of St Vincent’s run to Monday’s All-Ireland Club SFC final putting him in the window for a return to the Dublin panel.

When Billy Morgan and Michael Ryan questioned the GAA’s insistence that in a few years’ time all senior club and inter-county coaches or managers will have to have undergone a recognised coaching course, they had a point.
