A new documentary is to be launched tonight in Listowel, Co. Kerry - honouring the life of legendary Irish broadcaster, Con Houlihan.

The Castleisland native was one of Ireland's best known sports journalists - he wrote about hurling, football and rugby right up until his death last August.

The documentary - entitled "Waiting For Houlihan" - received an IFTA nomination last year.

 Cara Trant of the Kerry Literary and Cultural Centre says it shows Con's love for his home county. 

The Kerry native passed away in hospital from kidney failure, earlier this year. 

Over a lengthy career, he covered many of the greatest Irish and international sporting events, from Gaelic football and hurling finals, to soccer, rugby and the Olympics.

He worked for the Irish Press group of newspapers and later with the Irish Independent and Evening Herald and worked right up until his death.
