Joe Brolly marries Laurita Blewitt in intimate ceremony as GAA legend and podcast host tie the knot

GAA legend and pundit Joe Brolly has married Laurita Blewitt in an intimate ceremony.

It's believed over 100 guests attended the bash at a hotel in County Mayo including Lauita’s best buddies and podcast co-hosts- Tommy Tiernan and Hector O hEochagain

Laurita’s hilarious podcast with the two comedians is the most successful in Ireland with over 10 million downloads across the globe.

And the Sunday Independent (who Brolly writes for) say that Brolly’s friend Fr Liam McClarey officiated at the ceremony - with guests moving on to a party at the Knockmore GAA club in Ballina.

The paper add that the pair exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends on the banks of the river Moy, while overlooking views across the river and out to the Wild Atlantic Way.

The outspoken pundit hasn't appeared on the RTE Sunday Game programme since the 2019 All Ireland final, much to the disappointment of viewers.
