Eoin Cody says former Kerry star Fionan Mackessy is a 'fair operator' who would be made welcome in the Kilkenny dressing-room.

Mackessy, who has captured the last two Poc Fada titles, transferred to the O'Loughlin Gaels club in Kilkenny this year and has helped the city side to Sunday week's county final against Thomastown.
