Despite only progressing to national journalism at the age of 46, he became "the greatest and the best-loved Irish sports journalist of all".[1] Journalism careerOver a lengthy career, Houlihan covered many Irish and international sporting events, from Gaelic football and hurling finals, to soccer and rugby World Cups, the Olympics and numberless race meetings inside and outside Ireland.[1] He was a journalist with the Irish Press group writing for The Irish Press, Evening Press and sometimes The Sunday Press, until the group's demise in 1995. He wrote the "Tributaries" column and Evening Press back sports page "Con Houlihan" column. DeathHoulihan died in the morning of 4 August 2012 in St James's Hospital in Dublin. Often considered one of Ireland's finest writers, he left behind a legacy of immense sports journalism that spanned over 60 years.[2] A minute's silence was observed in his memory ahead of Kerry's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final defeat to Donegal at Croke Park the following day.[3][4] His last column, in which he wished Katie Taylor well, was published the day after his death.[5] His funeral took place on 8 August 2012.[6][7] Awards and honoursA bronze bust of Houlihan was unveiled in his hometown of Castleisland in 2004.[8] In 2011, another sculpture was erected outside The Palace bar in Dublin.[9] List of works
