MUNSTER AND IRELAND star Paul O’Connell is among those who pays tribute to the late Donal Walsh in a new documentary.
The programme looks at the life of the anti-suicide campaigner, who passed away aged 16 earlier this year, after a four-year battle with cancer.
In addition to O’Connell, Leinster’s Shane Jennings and Kerry footballer Paul Galvin feature in ‘Donal Walsh — My Story,’ which also includes interviews with Walsh’s family and friends.
The RTÉ Two documentary, two clips of which can be seen below, will air on New Year’s Day at 9.30pm.

It is an absolute disgrace that Joe Schmidt doesn’t consider Duncan Casey for the Autumn Internationals.
He is praised all over the media from rugby experts and picks Strauss instead…with a very questionable reason that “he understands how South Africa plays”, as some newspaper reveals today.
Seriously Like!!!
Schmidt is either blind or having a laugh.
Now is the time for young lads to show if they are worthy. Come the 6 Nations it’ll be too late.
A couple of points.
The only important figures missing are Healy and O Brien. The other players mentioned are not part of the core group.
Also what real importance do the Autumn internationals have outside of preparation for the 6N and the WC? (With the exception of some day maybe beating New Zealand that is)
From that perspective blooding New players has got to be good whether through design or default.
Andrew Trimble? The outstanding Irish player of the recent Six Nations? Not an important figure or part of the core group?!
You should pay more attention, old boy.
Hard to argue with Phil here, old boy.
