Tributes are pouring in for Kerry footballer Paidi O'Sé who has passed away at the age of 57.
Arts Minister Jimmy Deenihan said Paidi will be remembered not only as one of the greatest footballers of his time saying his talent, commitment and energy were legendary.
O'Sé won 8 All-Ireland titles with Kerry in the 70s and 80s, before going to manage the team, winning 2 further All-Irelands in 1997 and 2000.
He also went on to manage Westmeath, bringing them to their first ever Leinster title in 2004.
Kerry GAA, which O'Se served with great distinction, paid tribute to one of its greastest sons:
