‘Collins Cup’ gets positive Munster response

MUNSTER COUNCIL bosses would have no difficulty in naming the province’s senior football or hurling trophies after Michael Collins.

GAA President Sean Kelly claimed earlier this week that the Association’s failure to name a stadium or major trophy after the Irish revolutionary was “a major historical omission” on its part.

Kelly went on to say that his proposal was not politically motivated and Collins is almost unique in that he has always been equally respected by people on both sides of the age-old Civil War debate.
