Episode 3120: Brian Fenton, Rian O’Neill, Oisin McConville And 15 All-Ireland Titles Live From Liberty Hall

Any GAA fan who came to our live show in the Liberty Hall last Saturday night will have left pretty happy with their evening’s entertainment – we had Armagh’s Rian O’Neill, his publicity-shy uncle Oisin McConville, and recently-retired Dublin GAA great Brian Fenton all up on stage together for a Gaelic football masterclass.

We talked to Rian about his golden season, going from 4 penalty shoot-out losses in under 2 years to closing out a 1-point All-Ireland final win, and growing up with a legend for a godfather.

And when Brian Fenton joined the lads on stage, we asked him ‘why now’, if there’s any chance of a return, and the big question on everyone’s lips – has Duffer been in touch about a season with Shels next year? And Oisin even offers him an alternative role in next year’s Leinster championship.
