Time Called

This week saw laughter brought to the funeral of Páidi Ó Sé in his native Kerry, as mourners gathered to celebrate his life as much as mourn his passing. Ó Sé, a legend in the world of Kerry Football was laid to rest at Reilig Chaitliona, Ventra after his funeral mass.





Throughout Ó Sé's illustrious career his considerable prowess both on the off the field, first as a player and then as manager, brought considerable success to the Kerry team. Many friends and mourners from all walks of life gathered to hear Munster GAA Chairman, Sean Walsh giving the graveside oration.




Páidi Ó Sé died at his home last weekend aged 57.

    What a player but having met the man a few times what a very nice person, A few times while on holiday in Dingle, Paidi's Pub out in Ventry was a must as he told stories of the football and other exploits of himself and others . Within a few hours after the news broke of his death my daughters all contacted me to confirm “was it the man from Kerry football” that had died. My daughters at the time would have been aged 4 to 10 years old, such was the man they had met that they remembered him fondly all these years later
