 Micheal
O'Muireachartaig
Historic GAA Commentator and Personality
Micheal O' Muireachartaig has been the most distinctive and best
known voices in Irish radio for many years. His vast knowledge
of all sports is unparalleled. His match commentaries are listened
to by millions all over the world. Having him as a special guest
on Terrace
Talk was a very special occasion.
Born in Dingle, one of the most picturesque fishing ports in Ireland
and a beautiful
tourist attraction in the county of Kerry, Micheal O'Muireachartaigh
is now in his 53rd year as a national broadcaster with R.T.E and
has one of the most distinctive live voices on the airwaves. He
made his debut behind the microphone on St. Partick's day in 1949.
Like most Kerry lads, Micheal played G.A.A games at school level
and later worked as a primary teacher for fifteen years, and a
further thirteen at second level before being bitten by the broadcasting
bug.
Greyhound racing and golf are Micheal O'Muircheartaig's other
sporting passions
(he has always owned a few greyhounds). Micheal is a great family
man with eight children and three grandchildren. He married Helena
in 1970 and she attends all the big games. Micheal O' Muireachartaig
is one of the most recognised faces and voices in Ireland, but
above all he is one of the most sincere and genuine people one
could wish to meet. He is truly a legend in his own lifetime.
