Tanaiste Micheal Martin has led tributes to Cork GAA commentator Paudie Palmer who has passed away from injuries he sustained in a hit and run accident in Innishannon in West Cork on December 29.
The 65-year-old from Templenoe in Co Kerry worked for C103FM and as a teacher in Bandon, Co Cork. He is the uncle of Claudine Keane who is the wife of former Ireland International Robbie Keane.
Following the accident, Claudine took to social media to ask for prayers for her “lovely, talented and charismatic uncle Paudie.” She said that Paudie was also her godfather and was much loved by his family and friends.
