The "other" Hanniffy brother

Post by Heshs Umpire »

Lads,

A question from a curious Laoisman here.
What was the name of the other Hanniffy hurling brother from Birr who went off to Central America (I think)?
What ever became of him? Is he still out there or back in Ireland?

Thanks.

In college I went to a talk about the work of charities in Africa. I remember Darren's name being mentioned, and if memory serves me right, I think he was working for GOAL.
