Frank Murphy: Gerald McKenna would have been one of the GAA’s great presidents

A major contributor at Annual Congress, his detailed knowledge of the rules, his gifted oratory and skilful use of good humour and banter were deciding factors in many decisions.

KERRY GOLD: Former Kerry GAA chairman Gerald McKenna, pictured at his home in Ballyduff, who passed away on Saturday.

I am deeply saddened at the passing of Gerald McKenna - legendary GAA Administrator and truly great friend – and privileged to be asked to pen this tribute.

At the outset, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and to his many friends and colleagues in the Ballyduff Club and Kerry GAA on this sad occasion.
