And time now to go to Gaelic football.

We're joined by Conor McCarthy and Ray Silk this week to look to the All-Ireland Senior Quarterfinals.

But Ray, before we do so, I think it would be appropriate, given that you were the captain of the Galway team that won in 1998.

that you remember a friend of yours who has funeral, I believe, was today, Paul Clancy.

Tell us all about Paul, please.

I believe as a marker of respect, the Galway won't be using the number 10 jersey this weekend.

Indeed.

Conor McCarthy, I believe you played for Cork against Paul.

OK, may he rest in peace, Paul Clancy.

Let's talk about the weekend's action.

And Conor, delighted to have you with us because we haven't had too many opportunities in recent years to talk to you about Cork.

But here they are in the quarterfinals, the first quarterfinal tomorrow at 4pm in Croke Park, playing against Mayo.

And on the basis that Cork have had a week off,

and that they were big enough and strong enough to go up and win in Donegal two weeks ago.

There are people suddenly talking about Cork have a chance tomorrow.

What do you think?

Yes, indeed.

What do you attribute the turnaround for Cork?

Actually, it does remind me that there was a turning point in Cork Gaelic football, I think it was against Mayo in Croke Park back in 2012, where Cork had won the All-Ireland in 2010 and had been in the semi-final in 2011.

I don't think they've been back to a semi-final since 2011.
