Seán Walsh: We will always be looking up to Paddy Curtin

AT 10.45 on Monday morning, I was driving into Moyvane when the traffic came against us and halted cars at the creamery, writes Seán Walsh.

The GAA club had asked the parish priest for a special Mass to pray for Paddy Curtin and like a doleful church bell, everyone around dropped what they were doing, sat into the car and made for Moyvane church.

That’s the recurring thing of the last, soul-destroying, eight or nine hours around here. The love that everyone seemed to have for Paddy. More than that. His football colleagues in Moyvane idolised him.
