Dara Ó Cinnéide: Páidí was both a man of his time - and before his time

Dara Ó Cinnéide: "When Páidí took over the management of the Kerry senior team almost a quarter century ago, there was a sense of a new world coming rapidly.

Páidí Ó Sé would have been 65 years of age today. It’s difficult to imagine and, for those of us who still feel his presence is as real as his absence, it’s difficult to process as well.

There is rarely a week goes by since his untimely death in December 2012 that a story, a yarn or a memory of Páidí doesn’t bubble up to the surface here in the Gaeltacht. And given the last few months we’ve had there’s been more time than usual for reflection and to retell the stories and yarns.
