‘Football was the last thing on our minds this week,’ says Dessie Farrell after team beat Roscommon at Croke Park
“It was a really, really tough week for the players and the backroom team,” Farrell said. “We were all very close to him. When we got the news at the weekend, football was the last thing on our mind during the course of the week.
“Life’s journey is that you lose people along the way. It has never happened to this group before. There are certain individuals who have lost close family members but by and large most have been protected by that. They are of an age that that hasn’t been a significant part of their lives yet. This was the first real sort of body blow that a lot of lads would have experienced.
Seven buzzy points from O’Callaghan were the main highlight in a 1-19 to 1-12 win, although he was run close by the industrious Seán Bugler in attack, with Eoghan Murchan and Theo Clancy admirably stingy in defence as well.For Roscommon, it was a frustrating night. They hung in and kept stride with the home side throughout the first half, kicking seven points from seven shots and having a Daire Cregg goal disallowed.

Prepaid cards group’s demise highlights regulatory gap in Dublin e-money hubAlmost four years later, the company had still failed to convince supervisors in Dublin that its systems and governance were up to speed. And documents filed with the High Court this week – as the company raised the white flag – show PCSIL was also in the crosshairs of financial authorities in France and Spain. Prepaid cards have been around since the 1990s. But this segment of the financial world, which facilitates cashless shopping and digital transactions for people who do not have access to other forms of electronic payments such as standard debit or credit cards, has been growing rapidly in recent years – accelerated by the pandemic. The parent of PCSIL was set up in 2008 by Navan native Noel Moran and his wife Valerie, originally working from the kitchen table of their London apartment in Paddington. US-based Allied Market Research estimated in a report last year that the global prepaid card market will grow from $2.5 trillion (€2.3 trillion) in 2022 to $14.2 trillion in 2032
