A Limerick GAA stalwart who collapsed outside Croke Park after watching his beloved Treaty hurling team win their third All-Ireland final in four years was laid to rest this afternoon.

Pádraic Kearney, a selector with the Adare senior hurling team, had travelled to Croker for the final last Sunday, but celebrations turned to a nightmare when he collapsed and died after the game.
