The Liam Hayes interview

Joe Molloy was joined by the Meath GAA legend Liam Hayes on Wednesday's Off The Ball. A two-time All-Ireland winner who rose to become Chief Sports Writer of the Sunday Press newspaper, Liam went on to blaze a trail in publishing commissioning numerous GAA books about local heroes across the country. Yet, as a young man at the beginning of his Meath journey, Liam and his family suffered the devastating loss by suicide of his brother Gerard. In an incredibly open, occasionally heart-wrenching discussion, Liam spoke to Joe about what impact the event continues to have on his life, and how he is dealing with it.
