One GAA Family United in
Respect
Long after the thousands
had left Fitzgerald
Stadium last Saturday
evening our Tyrone team
was getting ready for a
bitter journey home.
Around 500 Kerry people
remained outside the
changing area – men
and women, old and young.
As our people started to
board their coach a
ripple of applause met
them. That ripple
grew
and grew and for
long minute after long
minute just went on and
on and on.
When Mickey Harte
appeared, a cheer of
support went up. As the
coach headed down through
Killarney hundreds on the
pavements took over where
the others left off,
warmly applauding Tyrone.
There is no doubt that
Ireland lost a lot and
took a lot of wrong turns
in the last few years.
But if you wanted your
faith in decency,
respect, honour and
dignity restored, then
Killarney at about eight
o’clock last
Saturday evening was the
place to be.
Inspirational and Simply
Unforgettable.
