Episode 1780: Dara Ó Cinnéide On The Game That Changed My Life, Farewell Matt Damon, Mescal Hurls
“You only have three All-Irelands? Jesus, I thought you had more” – this is the sort of thing a footballer of Dara Ó Cinnéide’s quality gets met with from time to time. Along with those three All-Ireland medals, he has 8 Munster medals, and is the sixth highest scorer in the history of Kerry football.

He joins us today to tell us about “The Game That Changed His Life”, being happy with his place in the pantheon, car journeys with Páidí, a stolen glance, the Kerry drought and why abuse beats pity.

We also discuss Paul Mescal’s hurling career, the sad end to Matt Damon’s stay in Dalkey, Eoin and Murph’s experience in the Damon household, Eddie Irvine, indoor pools, and Baz Ashmawy.
Dalkey’s Country Bake store, where Matt Damon had become a regular customer, posted on Wednesday that the American actor and his family have stopped by for their final visit before leaving Ireland.
