Bertie upstaged by Sam in the Kingdom

NEVER one to pass up a good photo opportunity, true blue Dub Bertie Ahern grasped the Sam Maguire Cup with both hands when he visited Kerry yesterday.

“Ah, it’s nice to see it. Mightn’t see it again for another year,” he said.

The Taoiseach, acknowledging that he was “not the most important visitor” to Kerry this week, said it was a pleasure to be following Sam into the Kingdom following the county’s All-Ireland success.
