Stricken O’Sullivan left to wait for op

He may come from a legendary hurling family, but Paudie O’Sullivan’s stature in the GAA was little use to him this week as he waited for a Cork hospital operation on a broken leg.

The Cork attacker was on a trolley up to last night awaiting surgery at Cork University Hospital, having broken his shin in a local championship game on Tuesday. He was due to be operated on late last night, it is understood.

His brother, former Cork star Diarmuid O’Sullivan, tweeted yesterday: “i wonder if Paudie was an international player would he be left sit on a hospital trolley until tomorrow to have his op?? #nothappy”.
