Dublin's Philly McMahon gave a very fine interview to Ryan Tubridy on tonight's Late Late Show in which he recounted the death of his brother John, a drug addict who died in London at the age of just 31. McMahon then explained his reasoning behind his belief that the government should decriminalise drugs.
Watch below:
Here is some of the reaction the interview provoked online:
Much more to #Gaa players than just the game. A lot of untapped potential out there. Well done @PhillyMcMahon

Sports people sometimes get labelled as something they are not but @PhillyMcMahon has just proved how grounded GAA players in particular are
