Well-known gaelic games commentator Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh has passed away at the age of 93 in the Mater hospital in Dublin.
Ó Muircheartaigh, hailed as the "voice of Gaelic Games", was born in Dún Síon just outside Dingle, Co Kerry, in 1930 and worked as a teacher.
The broadcaster's first assignment for RTÉ was to provide an all-Irish commentary on the 1949 Railway Cup Final on St Patrick's Day. Following this, he continued teaching up until the mid-1980s when he became a full-time broadcaster with RTÉ.
Members of the community have commented under the post, one user said: "Lovely person that there will never be another like. A national treasure."
Another user said: "Rest in peace Mícheál, an absolute legend."
