Loughnane’s legacy has not gone to waste

Ger Loughnane was right. Last Sunday night he called on one of the rich phrases from his beloved Gaeilge to suitably articulate what had transpired earlier. ‘Lá dar saol a bhí ann.’

‘Twas one of the days of our lives.’ Nearly everything about Croke Park last Sunday was fitting, perfect, life-affirming.

Even the little touches in the match-day presentation were as delightful as those Podge Collins would display a little later on.
