When Ireland gathered around ‘the wireless’ in the dark, one boy saw the light
Pat Herbert was just a boy in 1947 when the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Final was played, for its first and only time, in New York instead of Ireland. The rural village where he lived had not yet recovered from World War II, and the broadcast made a huge impression on him, along with a single green “wireless”light shining in the dark.
