Celebrity Deaths 2025 - Under 90s only

She used be on the Late Late on an almost yearly occasion it felt. My mother would pretend to be disgusted by her but she used be fascinated at the same time. My father tutted along as they watched.

The Stones were some pricks it seems. Still are.

I suppose how could you not have been back then like that. There’s lads bigger pricks now for less.

The epitome of Galway football even as a manager.

Played the proper way.

He let Meehan and Joyce off the leash in 2008 and had Joe Bergin in as a target man.

That season was an island of not badness in a decade of shite for Galway football.

I couldn’t find the other one, ahem!

Matt Doyle RIP

Madam, - What a nasty piece of hatchet journalism from a so- called former investigative reporter that was published in the sports section on Tuesday.

The Ryder Cup would never have come to Ireland in the first place if not for Dr Michael Smurfit and his vision and, yes, money.

What goldilocks world does Bruce Selcraig live in? Like it or not, golf is an extremely commercial sport and Dr Smurfit stepped up and procured the Ryder Cup for all golfers here in Ireland.

As a proud member of the K Club I find Mr Selcraig’s criticisms of the course laughable. Just because he took a vow of poverty by becoming a journalist does not mean the rest of us had to.

By the way, if there were only Mercedes in the car park it must have been ladies’ day or children’s day. On a men’s day it would have been Bentleys and Aston Martins.

The course itself is an outstanding test of golf, which will challenge the great players who will compete here in September. The entire complex itself, from hotel, golf courses, spa, practice facilities and staff are world class and a source of great pride to our members as well as the golf community at large here in Ireland. I hope Mr Selcraig comes along to the Ryder Cup and understands just how wrong he is in his over the top, personal and gratuitous criticisms.

Frankly, I could go on and on with a rebuttal of Mr Selcraig’s points but I have better things to do, such as playing golf on my fabulous courses. - Yours, etc,

MATT DOYLE, Ladycastle, Straffan, Co Kildare.

Looks like I’m lining up for my second what with the Lawman already after shuffling off a few weeks back.

I’d say he lied about his age when he applied for the job?
