Michael Conlon, former county manager dies, age 90

One of Cork’s best-known former county managers, Michael Conlon, has died aged 90 after a long illness.

“He was an exceptional man, a man of great foresight, probably the best county manager, and perhaps the youngest county manager, we ever had,” Kevin Mills, former Irish Examiner business editor.

Mr Mills, who had many dealings with Mr Conlon over the years, said he was “a true public servant” always working for the greater good.
