John Fogarty: The best bit of public relations the GPA has ever done? It may well be
Spa clubman Ian O’Connell was presented with a new wheelchair accessible vehicle at his club grounds on Friday. On his 19th birthday, O’Connell was surprised to be presented with the new car having received his first vehicle courtesy of the KN Group All-Ireland GAA Golf Challenge and Michael Lyng Motors in 2018. Funded by friends of the Challenge and Lyng Motors, Ian is pictured with his new Ford Tourneo Connect flanked by Spa’s Kerry senior stars Dara Moynihan, Liam Kearney, and Michael Lyng. Ian was paralysed from the neck down after falling off his bicycle in August 2017.
