Now that was a sad story about the millionaire owner of the Segway company, who died after falling from cliffs while riding a Segway motorised scooter. Jimi Heselden (62) crashed into the River Wharfe while riding the vehicle round his estate in West Yorkshire last week and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Irish sport was dealt a severe blow this week when Micheál O Muircheartaigh retired from his vocation of enriching the Sunday afternoons of the nation. For over half a century his insightful, energetic and witty commentary on radio set the bar for GAA commentary at an impossibly high level. The alternative commentators on RTE TV simply could not compete with a man of such eloquent genius. Hence an entire generation turned down the sound on the TV and tuned into RTE Radio 1. It was a pleasure and an honour to listen to a man such as this, poetic, cultured with an innate sense of history and humanity. He became the sound of Sunday.
