1956 Olympic Champion Ronnie Delany, who spent time working in Carlow and Kilkenny, has died at the age of 91.

The Olympic Federation of Ireland has expressed “deep sadness” at the passing of the 1956 1500 metre champion who made his name on the college circuit in America before achieving international track success - both indoors and outdoors.

The Wicklow native, who had a stint with the Army Cadets and also sold vacuum cleaners in our locality during his teens, was remembered on this morning's KCLR Daily.

Brian Redmond spoke to Athletics Ireland President Brid Golden (Ferrybank AC), Dr Noel Richardson of Kilkenny City Harriers and SETU and KCLR's Dermot Keyes, who interviewed Ronnie Delany following the publication of his autobiography 'Staying The Distance' in 2006.

The demand for slower travel and a more authentic experience is something that Carlow naturally provides to visitors: that's the view of Carlow Tourism Chief Executive Eileen O'Rourke.

Following Monday's County Council meeting, Eileen spoke to Dermot Keyes of KCLR News, and he began by asking her about the success of Carlow Tourism's primary promotion slogan, 'Wander Off The Track', which was adopted in 2021.
