Anthony Daly: We’re all proud Clare GAA people. We want the best but we’re not getting anything near that

I cannot understand how — in my opinion — our greatest ever player Brian Lohan is not being supported to the hilt by the Clare County Board

After recording the Irish Examiner podcast last Monday morning, I went back to Kilkee to clear my head. I’m no distance from the west Clare coast, but it was the first time I was able to travel to Kilkee after the 5km restriction had been lifted. And I couldn’t wait.

It was everything you could ask for. The weather was excellent but Kilkee was just a postcard picture of pristine beauty. The whole bay was at low-tide. People were swimming. The promenade was flooded with walkers. I set off around the breathtaking cliff walk and, as I was coming back down by the pollocks holes, I said to myself: ‘It’s no wonder so many people flock to this county every year.’
