Renowned Kerry activist laid to rest

He was a founder member of the Kerry Mountain Rescue Team and of the Cappanalea Outdoor Pursuits Centre, in mid-Kerry.
Born in 1933, he first came to prominence in the 1950s as a member of the successful Kerry cycling team in An Rás Tailteann and won the 160km All-Ireland Road Championship in 1956. In later years, he played a key role in bringing the three Irish cycling bodies together and forming one organisation.
