Ger Loughnane Interview: Hurling, heroes, and hopes for the future

Tonight, the same authority Ger Loughnane railed against back in his day will salute him and induct him into the Munster GAA Hall of Fame. He has a lot else on as well and plenty to say about them: 20 years on from ’95, Davy and Clare, being a granddad, life after staring at death, and the thrill of the hunt...

A winter’s evening in Ennis and outside, the elements are raging fiercer than he ever did in his pomp against the powers-that-be that this weekend will salute and honour that — his — rebellion.

Ger Loughnane emerges from out of the latest hurricane that is pounding Clare and into the warmth and comfort that is the Old Ground Hotel just down the road from his old stomping ground of Cusack Park.
