Cork’s greater need should edge them over the line

All the signs point to Cork and Dublin victories in Croke Park tomorrow.

I had the pleasure of spending a few hours in Dungarvan during the week producing our radio programme, an Saol ó Dheas, from the West Waterford Festival of Food. One of those who contributed to the programme was Anne Mulqueen, the renowned singer from Castleconnell, Co Limerick, now long domiciled in the Rinn ua gCuanach Gaeltacht.

She told a good yarn about the late great Liam Clancy, of Clancy Brothers fame, who like Anne herself was a blow-in to the locality for years.
