Family appeal for help after All-Ireland medal stolen from home

It's a precious, treasured heirloom that means so much to one family - and they are now hoping that public can help them track down the All-Ireland medal won by a Waterford player just after the Second World War.

The family of Déise player and long-serving county official Daithí de Paor lost the medal after a break-in at a home in Wexford on Friday, reports CorkBeo.

The gold medal in the form of a classic Celtic Cross may not have any huge intrinsic value. But the family say that to them, it is an irreplacable heirloom of 'huge sentimental value'. They are hoping the GAA family can spread the word and help make the medal too hot to handle.
