Inniu, déanfar dealbh de Pháidí Ó Sé a nochtadh ina áit dhúchais, Ard an Bhóthair, i gCorca Dhuibhne.  Is é Séamus Connolly ó Chill Bheathach i gCo. an Chláir a rinne an dealbh cré umha de laoch na Ríochta, agus is laoch eile ón gceantar, Mick O’Dwyer, a dhéanfaidh an dealbh a nochtadh. Is é Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh a bheidh ina fhear an tí.  Beidh Pádraig Ó Sé i láthair agus beidh tuairiscí aige ón ócáid ar Spórt an tSathairn tráthnóna inniu, agus ar An Saol ó Dheas Dé Luain. 

Today, a statue of Páidí Ó Sé will be unveiled in his native Ard an Bhóthair in Corca Duibhne in Kerry.  Mick O’Dwyer will do the official duties, and Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh will be MC for the event.   The bronze statue has been created by Séamus Connolly of Kilbaha, Co. Clare, and will honour the beloved Kerry footballer, manager and publican.  Pádraig Ó Sé will be at the event, and will bring us reports during the programme this afternoon, with more coverage on Monday’s An Saol ó Dheas.
