ad to report that the great Patsy Vickers passed away this morning…

A big, big part of this town, Patsy was also something of a leading light when it came to the GAA in Wicklow.

Which may explain why they honoured the man with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. You can catch our interview with Patsy at the time right here.
