The Austin Stacks club man has released his autobiography titled, 'Kieran Donaghy: What do you think of that?' and he delved into some sections of it in front of the national cameras and it was raw and poignant. Everything from dogs, to Joe Brolly, to his partner, he covered it with pure emotion and passion.
Donaghy also spoke about the death of his father and the regret of how the pair's relationship was when he eventually passed at the age of 59.
"It was a tough one because we had a bit of an argument and a bit of a falling out a few years beforehand," the iconic number 14 said. "We hadn't [resolved our difficulties] unfortunately, no. It was tough and that's what I found the hardest with dealing with his death, just the fact that we fought. "The biggest feeling I had was almost a regret for him; that he didn't get to be that dad that's at home all the time, produced three fabulous children, and had a great wife. "You know, I'd see Paul Galvin's parents after All-Irelands and himself and the dad hugging and you can just see that real bond."https://twitter.com/RTELateLateShow/status/789589282121916416 Every bit of Donaghy's interview was captivating and his bravery and honesty had the viewers warming to him, Dubs or not. https://twitter.com/marlenefernane/status/789589282621120512 https://twitter.com/CahairOKane1/status/789588717929398272 https://twitter.com/toobanlad/status/789589609785200640 https://twitter.com/toobanlad/status/789589609785200640 https://twitter.com/SeanCavanagh14/status/789590527004073984
