Conor McCarthy’s article nothing to get hung up about

Our exchange of salutations with Conor McCarthy in Killarney on Saturday was a brief one. 

Not because we feared the wrought of being seen with him. Scout’s honour. He was simply going in an opposite direction on Lewis Road and there was rain to avoid.

We didn’t part without jokingly warning him to keep his head down. Going by the words of a Kerry County Board official we met later that evening, he might have been better wearing a helmet. He didn’t so much as poke a hornets’ nest as pound it.
