Ó Muircheartaigh honoured in special show

Legendary GAA commentator Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh was last night honoured in a special two-and-a-half hour live programme broadcast by RTÉ Raidio na Gaeltachta in front of an invited audience of over 200 people, which included GAA officials, former players, media colleagues, family and friends.

The audience at the Galway Bay Hotel were held captive by the many stories about Ó Muircheartaigh's career, not just in the GAA world but also his major assistance to the promotion of the Irish language through his involvement with the Gaelscoileanna movement and also Bord na Gaeilge.
