As part of a statement released by Dingle GAA, club chairman Seán Ó Súilleabháin commented: "Micheál's contribution throughout his lifetime to the promotion of our native language and cultural heritage was nothing short of immense.

"An iconic ambassador that we are privileged to be able to call one of our own. It will be a source of great pride for the people of West Kerry to see his name going above the door of a facility which promises to nurture and promote the very things which meant so much to Micheál."
