Thanks for that

A quick google on Kevin Fagan "Heffernan picked Kevin Fagan who was a notorious hachet man in Dublin club football, he hadn't played inter-county - his brief was to box Jim Stynes every time he looked at the ball."

When I googled Paddy Barrett says he's from Limerick, thanks for his name as wouldn't have found his county without it.

Yes, Paddy Barrett was definitely from Askeaton in Limerick, and played Railway Cup with Munster. I see I wrote Dublin - that was a typo, sorry! Have corrected that.

Also I'm not sure about your reference about Kevin Heffernan picking Kevin Fagan in 1990. I think Eugene McGee was coach that year, and Heffernan was in 1986, as per the below articles.

Further Googling turns up "Eugene McGee"s choice of Kevin Fagan, who had only played a handful of league games in 1990."

The hatchet duties may be accurate however!
