PADDY HEANEY: Weeshie’s beautiful obsession Knowles no bounds

Every self-respecting GAA fanatic should meet Weeshie Fogarty at least once in their lifetime.

The good news for northern Gaels is that they can avail of that opportunity because the Kerry man is heading to Tyrone. ‘An Audience with Weeshie Fogarty’ will take place in Quinn’s Corner next Thursday at 8pm.

I don’t go to many functions, but I’ll be in next week. Officially, the event is to promote Weeshie’s new book, My Beautiful Obsession — Chasing the Kerry Dream, which was launched by Maurice Fitzgerald before Christmas. But the main emphasis during the night will centre on yarns and chat. Weeshie is good at that.
