The marriage has taken place in Killarney of 86-year-old former Kerry manager Mick O’Dwyer and Geraldine Shields, his partner.
The event, at the Civil Registry Office in Killarney on Friday, was followed by a small intimate reception at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney.
The bride, who is a grandmother, is originally from Co Tyrone. The couple have known each other some years. They will reside in Waterville, Co Kerry.
Mr O’Dwyer’s first wife, Mary Carmel, a business owner who ran a garage, pub and hotel in Waterville, died in 2012 at the age of 71. The couple had married in 1962. They had four sons, one of whom, Haulie, died last October.
