His death moved the entire country. Thanks to whomever wrote this recognition as his dedication and character continue to inspire and move the thousands of us who train in these dark, wet winter nights out of love for the game, even though most of us will never achieve the ultimate prize as Cormac did. He lives in our hearts at every training session. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar do anam dílis a Chormaic.

A true legend and an Irish Gael - the Boy from Bantry Bay, we'll never forget you. An icon and inspiration.

I was just wondering, the article said he was born in Benburb and the link to the Cormac Trust says he is born in Dungannon. Which is correct or are they both the same? And yes, he was a legend, I am not a Tyrone fan at all but was saddened to hear of the loss of such a great player. Frainc

You're right. He was born in Dungannon but born and raised in Benburb. Will change. Go raibh míle maith agat. Tír Eoghain abú

Yeah but "born in Dungannon" just means he was born in Dungannon hospital, wedl as far as I know anyway. (Derry Boi)

McAnallen is very famous, there must be an image that can be used for his article? Frainc 18:13 21 September 2006

A great player, and a fitting article. I only wish we were producing players of his substance in Wicklow. It would be nice to see a photograph too. Hollywood X 03:32, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seven years later and Cormac remains an inspiration to everybody. We were talking here in Meath this evening about people who have died recently during or shortly after football and hurling matches and we just can't believe it's seven years since Cormac's death. I remember precisely where I was when I heard it and how my then girlfriend, who has the same name as Cormac's fiancée, cried. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis a Chormaic. P.S. A photograph would be a very fine addition to this article. 86.45.56.77 (talk) 22:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
