Revision as of 00:56, 18 January 2008 by NaLaochra (talk | contribs) (cleaned up, much as it hurt me to do so!)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Marty Morrissey is a commentator with the sports department of Ireland's national broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann. He is a native of Clare and currently resides in Kildare. Morrissey has commentated on many sporting events but his bailiwick is Gaelic games. Following his native Clare's Munster football final victory in 1992, Morrissey famously remarked live on air that "there won't be a cow milked for a week" in the county.
He has a regular column entitled "Ballhop" in the weekly regional newspaper The Clare People, and is an avid supporter of club teams in his native Clare where he often undertakes fund raising activities.
As well as his sports work, Morrissey had a small acting role in Podge and Rodge's Christmas Celebrity Special (2005). In the programme, he played himself, but as Podge and Rodge's annoying GAA enthusiast cousin. He later appeared as a guest on The Podge and Rodge Show.
