Cork GAA are saddened to hear of the death of Paudie Palmer, C103 GAA commentator & columnist for the Echo. Paudie has been a brilliant servant to our games over many years. The press box in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh & Páirc Uí Rinn and around the country will be a lonely place without his presence. Paudie was universally loved by all on Leeside and beyond. His loss will be keenly felt by his family, friends, colleagues and everyone in Cork.
