Daughter tells of grief as heartless thieves take rare All-Ireland medal from family home

A daughter who was custodian of an extremely rare Waterford All-Ireland Hurling medal which belonged to her late father is pleading with thieves to return it after it was taken from her ransacked home last Friday.

The medal was awarded to Davy Power who was also known as Daithi de Paor, in 1948 when Waterford won the All-Ireland crown for the first time in their history, following a 6-7 to 4-2 defeat of Dublin in the final.

The late Mr de Paor played as a wing back and wing forward for the Waterford Senior All-Ireland hurling team.
