Irish Times

Donegal GAA
paid tribute to James McHugh on Tuesday, saying his legacy "goes far beyond honours and medals."
A prominent member of Donegal's breakthrough 1992 All-Ireland winning team, James McHugh famously won the county's maiden Sam Maguire title alongside his brother, Martin.
Donegal GAA described James as "a man who holds a very special place in the story, and in the hearts, of Donegal Gaels and the wider community".
The statement continued: "For many people across our county, James was one of their first heroes. James was part of the generation that changed Donegal football forever when he and his team-mates brought Sam Maguire to the hills for the first time in 1992.
"The generation that showed us all that anything is possible. A proud Donegal man, he was perhaps prouder still to be a Kilcar man.
"James's unprecedented achievement on the turf of Croke Park that September day was made all the more special by the fact that he shared the field with his beloved brother, Martin.
"To see the brothers from Kilcar soldier together as Donegal finally reached the summit is a memory that will live forever in the history of our county.
"James was recognised for his outstanding contribution to that historic campaign with an All-Star award, but his legacy goes far beyond honours and medals."
