Not from Cork but of Cork

By his own reckoning, Seán Óg Ó hAilpín was probably the least skilful hurler to ever put on a Cork jersey — but has there been a more dedicated person to wear it? “That’s what made me survive,” he suggests. Now with his life thoughts put to paper, he’s ready to reflect, without bitterness, without rancour. Anyone looking for sly digs won’t find them here.

Yes, he’s still glad he did the book.

If he knew at the start how much time and editing it would involve, he’d have thought twice about it, but ultimately he doesn’t regret doing it.
