President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to former Olympian and athletics commentator Jerry Kiernan following his death.
The 67-year-old represented Ireland at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, placing ninth in the men’s marathon.
Kiernan went on to train many of Ireland’s top athletics talents, including middle-distance runners John Travers and Ciara Mageean.
“The death of Jerry Kiernan, Olympian, sports commentator and athletics coach will have been heard with sadness by all those in the sports community and those who enjoyed his voice in commentary. His achievements in 1984, and his enduring coaching legacy will be long remembered.”
