You should pursue the matter with Nenagh Town Council (or whatever its successor was following the recent local government realignment) who saw fit to commission a statue of Johnny Hayes.
I wasn’t aware that I had made any comment on where Johnny Hayes was born or which country he had represented in the Olympics. Interesting to note that Nenagh born Matt McGrath and Hayes were both members of the same club - The Irish American Athletic Club.
You incorrectly referred to him as local to Nenagh.
His parents did hail from the area hence his links to the town.
Let this be a salutory lesson in the dangers of using Wikipedia when wishing to post boring, mundane ‘facts’ on the internet.
Looking forward to finding out the annual turnover of PSV Eindhoven later on all the same.
Can I ask you to stop what you’re doing and watch and listen this video of the Irish Intervarsity Womens Relay Final from the Morton Stadium recently. It is worth 4 & 1/2 minutes of anyones morning
