John LeeGUEST
So it'll just show you how Gerry Collins is the last.
John LeeGUEST
I think he's the last of that Jack Lynch, 77.
John LeeGUEST
He was the last
Daniel McConnellGUEST
of that,
Kevin LarneyHOST
So this is in Crowe Park, I assume.
Kevin LarneyHOST
And it's a doubleheader with the All-Ireland Men's Senior Final, where a young man called Jack Lynch comes out, togs out for cork in their win over Antrim.
Kevin LarneyHOST
So this is the funny Crowe Park story I was talking about earlier.
Kevin LarneyHOST
That's just...
Kevin LarneyHOST
Yeah, so you've got future Taoiseach of the country Charlie High going out and hurling in the minors.
Kevin LarneyHOST
Game afterwards, future Taoiseach of the country Jack Lynch hurling for the seniors.
Jason BrennanHOST
Because Jack then Lynch would have been, because you
Kevin LarneyHOST
called Charlie Hawhey a dual star, but Jack is actually a dual star.
Maire Geoghegan-QuinnGUEST
And I remember talking to John about it at the time and saying, you know, I've made up my mind.
Maire Geoghegan-QuinnGUEST
Charlie Haughey, Jack Lynch appointed me a junior minister.
Maire Geoghegan-QuinnGUEST
Charlie Haughey will now become the Taoiseach of the day if he's voted in, but I'm going to vote for George Cawley.
Maire Geoghegan-QuinnGUEST
And I did.

John ConnollyGUEST
And another, I suppose, well-known person in Fianna Fáil in County Galway, a woman.
John ConnollyGUEST
And again, I asked more about this because I only knew during the week that from the article in the Tribune that they came, I think it might have been headquarter staff or it may have been common people, came firstly to ask Maura's mother to contest the election.
John ConnollyGUEST
And following the death of Micheál Kitt senior, I understand that it was Seamus Brennan and Jack Lynch came to their house and again, to ask Bridie Kitt to contest the election.
John ConnollyGUEST
And Bridie Kitt was a phenomenal individual and very formidable individual.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
The evidence shows clearly that... unlike what others have said, there was no agreement in Cabaret to let the arms importation to go ahead.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
And Jack Lynch, the Taoiseach of the time, there's no evidence that he gave authority for that to happen.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
None at all.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
Yet this myth has grown up that they all agreed to do this anyway and thought he was a victim.
Patrick GeogheganHOST
He was able to then position himself for the leadership at the end of the decade.
Patrick GeogheganHOST
That is a remarkable comeback.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
It is, but aided and abetted by Jack Lynch, leader of Fianna Fáil, who was weak, a weak person.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
And the Fianna Fáil front bench in opposition from 1973 to 1977 were pathetic people.
Kevin FlannerySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But they sent him home because he said it was totally unacceptable what the Department of Foreign Affairs were negotiating on behalf of the Irish people and on behalf of the fishing industry.
Kevin FlannerySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So he was sent home on the first plane out of there because he objected to the then Foreign Affairs Minister, Paddy Hillary, and what Jack Lynch were doing and setting off the industry.
Kevin FlannerySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But even since then, the CFP negotiations back in 83 and 84, we got a biologically sensitive area, which now has actually gone with the wind.
Kevin FlannerySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But outside of that, there has been no historical quotas or review of it or anything given to the Irish.
Gerry KellyHOST
Like it was water off a duck's back at him.
Gerry KellyHOST
You know, prominent people in Fianna Fáil, like Jack Lynch, of course, Bertie Ahern, Albert Reynolds, he had no time for them.
Gerry KellyHOST
He dismissed them out of hand, speaking to you.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
Yes, he had a particular hatred for Jack Lynch.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
I assume because Lynch humiliated him by firing him and having him prosecuted.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
Lynch had no decision on the prosecution issue that was done by Colm Condon, the attorney general at the time.
Ciaran CudahyHOST
He said, absolutely, I was on paternity leave, I'm entitled to be on paternity leave, and I'm not going to apologise for being on paternity leave.
Ciaran CudahyHOST
Well, Jack is on the line.
Ciaran CudahyHOST
Jack, what do you think of Simon Harris taking paternity leave.
JackAUDIENCE
Ciarán, how you doing Ciarán? Who gave him the right to be on paternity leave? He didn't ask me and he's working for me.
JackAUDIENCE
I'm giving him over 200 or nearly 250,000 a year.
Ciaran CudahyHOST
Yeah, but he was contactable.
JackAUDIENCE
But not according to him, he wasn't.
Ciaran CudahyHOST
No, no, sorry, you obviously didn't listen, Jack.
Des CahillHOST
It became known as the Thunder and Lightning Final due to the freak, horrendous weather that hit Dublin.
Des CahillHOST
We'll hear from former Taoiseach Jack Lynch, who played for Cork, and Kilkenny star Jimmy Langton.
Seán O'Shea ConnNARRATOR
As the 1930s drew to a close, Michal O'Hare was just beginning his illustrious career as a Gaelic Games commentator.
Seán O'Shea ConnNARRATOR
Having broadcast the 1938 football final, he made his hurling debut in 1939 and as if to heighten the dramatic effect both God and man made their presence felt.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They knew about this thing that was going on over in Europe, but for them...
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Cork and Kilkenny were out there in front.
Seán O'Shea ConnNARRATOR
And two key players in this real drama were Jack Lynch and Jimmy Langton.
Jimmy LangtonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I suppose we were very lucky to beat Cork by one pint.
Eoin SheahanHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Eoin SheahanHOST
One nugget, you know, from, you know, just reminding myself of the Jack Lynch, Charles Haughey thing today, which connects Charles Haughey to the Manchester United players, is that Haughey was booed at Jack Lynch's funeral.
Eoin SheahanHOST
So he knows exactly what all these Manchester United players are going through at Old Trafford every Sunday as his manager, who kind of takes up the Jack Lynch role in all of this, is applauded off the pitch.
Eoin SheahanHOST
So there we go.
Eoin SheahanHOST
You were watching very closely last night as things were developing, Steve-O.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
Okay.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
There is no evidence, zero evidence, that this was ever authorised in any way by the Cabinet or by Jack Lynch.
Danny McConnellHOST
No evidence whatsoever?
Vincent BrowneGUEST
None.
Vincent BrowneGUEST
Now, there is evidence that Jack Lynch may have known about
Danny McConnellHOST
it,
Vincent BrowneGUEST
but there is no evidence that it was either approved by him or authorised by the Cabinet.
Danny McConnellHOST
Yes, it was
