Deenihan joins old rival JBM for book launch

JIMMY DEENIHAN, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and former Kerry All-Ireland-winning captain, launched his book, My Sporting Life, last night in Cork with the aid of a former opponent, Rebel County dual legend Jimmy Barry-Murphy.

Barry-Murphy and Deenihan had some noted duels in the Munster football championship during the 70s and were reunited at the River Lee Hotel for the launch of the book.

Revenue generated by sales of the book will benefit the Lartigue Restoration Project, which aims to restore a monorail system in north Kerry.
