    That is fantastic - thanks a million for posting it.

    When I took the bike to Kerry in July my father in law (from the other end of the county) and some punters in his pub started to talk about Mick Murphy. I hadn't a clue who he was but this explains a lot.

    Legendary! Will he be talking at EP, or cycling to it? Or just going along for the music...

    Iron Man’ Mick Murphy, the blood-drinking, fire-eating hard man who won the 1958 Rás Tailteann. They certainly dont make them like this anymore !

    Thanks for posting this incredible story about this exceptional man.
