The significant contribution to Irish culture by the founder of the GAA will be celebrated with the inaugural Michael Cusack Day in Carron, located in the heart of the Burren in County Clare, at midday on Sunday (20 September).

Despite having to postpone its annual Golf Classic until the autumn rather than hold it on its normal mid-summer date, Shannon Chamber welcomed 38 teams, involving 152 players, to the fairways of Shannon Golf Club and despite the recently heavy downpours, the skies remained blue for most of the day.
