A fitting time to bid adieu to Colm Murray

No event was complete without the ‘Murray treatment’, says Jonathan Mullin

COLM MURRAY’S relationship with time was always a little fractious. Colleagues in RTÉ tell many hair-raising tales of him sprinting down the corridor just to make his slot on the Six One news, literally by seconds.

So you can bet that he would afford himself a right mischievous smile today, knowing that he picked two of the most hectic days in the Irish racing calendar to bid his adieu. For a man who brought such fun to so many, how fitting that he has had the last laugh.
