'But the magic of his voice and the memories he gave us will mean in our minds, he will live forever.'

Marty Morrissey has paid an emotional tribute to Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh after the legendary commentator's death at the age of 93.

The Dingle native's death has led to an outpouring of support from GAA fans far and wide and Morrissey has added his voice to the tributes, proclaiming that Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh "will live forever." A schoolteacher for much of his career, he did his first commentary for RTE in 1949, in Irish, for the Railway Cup final and retired at the age of 80 after the 2010 All-Ireland football final, in which Cork beat Down.
