Donal Óg’s ‘inspirational’ speech links him to politics

Speculation is rife that Cork hurling star Donal Óg Cusack is considering a bid for a Dáil seat for Cork East at the next general election.

The Cloyne native, holder of three senior hurling All-Ireland medals since 1999 and a former All-Star, has been sounded out about a move into politics following a widely praised speech at the first An Phoblacht Autumn School in Ballyvourney recently.
