BBC televised the All-Ireland football & hurling finals from. 1980 to 1982.
Barry Davies was the presenter in 1980, with Des Lynam doing the 81 & 82 final. They used RTE commentary from MicheĂĄl OâHehir.
Marie Elmes (5 May 1908 â 9 March 2002) was an Irish aid worker from Cork, credited with saving the lives of at least 200 Jewish children at various times during the Holocaust, by hiding them in the boot of her car. In 2015, she became the first and only Irish person honoured as âRighteous Among the Nationsâ by the State of Israel.
Channel 4 did the highlights in the 90s. Iâd to stay up late to watch the 94 final. A drunk in the park with a transistor radio had warned me Offaly won earlier in the day so I was a bit perplexed with 5 minutes to go.
