Laughs mix with tears as Páidí is remembered

There was a constant flow of mourners to Páidí Ó Sé’s home in Ventry, where he lay in repose. Locals remembered him with deep affection and recalled his hectic life.

The football legend’s coffin was in a ground floor room, with his widow Máire, daughters Neasa and Siún, and son Pádraig Óg sitting alongside. Also in the room were his last surviving brother, Thomas, and footballing nephews Darragh, Tomás, and Marc, all standing in line.
