The architect behind the new Croke Park design is to enjoy local honours.
Des McMahon is to be officially recognised this month as a special GAA function when club and county players and top GAA officials will gather to mark the architect`s contribution to the Dublin venue`s rebirth.
The Beragh-born professional will be honoured at Kelly`s Inn, Garvaghery, on February 12th with the new Tyrone county Chairman, Ciaran McLaughlin joining Ulster GAA Director, Danny Murphy and Omagh District Council Chairman Paddy McGowan.
The event will acknowledge the architect`s design role as well as his own distinguished playing career.
Club Chairman, Gerard Tracey said the Dublin stadium is testimony to Des McMahon`s expertise and that the club is anxious to ensure the architect`s input to the Croke Park design.
Mr McMahon represented Tyrone in the 1960s and taught for some years in Dungannon before qualifying as an architect in the early 1970s.

And rightly so. Its a terrific stadium and a monument to what the Irish can do when they are determined, well led and organised (ie free of political involvement ) .
I`ve been to a few too, and it beats the arse off all of them.
