Private collection
Kerry won the 1985 All Ireland Football Final and the artist was
present to witness his team’s success. Friend and classmate, the late
great Páidí Ó Sé was Kerry captain that year and lifted the Sam
Maguire for The Kingdom. Over the years O’Neill has made several
works in pastel and oil based on those fierce county clashes from
images in books, newspapers and from memory.
We are grateful to the artist for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
