Rivalry between Micheál Martin and Sean Canney moves pitchside for Croker clash

They usually do battle across the Dáil chamber but Micheál Martin and Sean Canney will soon become pitchside opponents.

The two politicians are set to head to Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day when Cork’s Nemo Rangers take on Galway’s Corofin in the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Club Championship Final in what will be a family affair.

The Fianna Fáil leader’s eldest son, Micheál Aodh Martin, plays in goal for Nemo Rangers.
