Pa Laide

Pa Laide is a former Gaelic footballer from Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, who played at club level for Austin Stacks and at senior inter-county level for Kerry from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. With his club he won the Kerry Senior Football Championship in 1994, and with Kerry he won minor and under-21 titles before breaking into the senior side. His high point came in 1997, when Kerry won the Munster Senior Football Championship, the National Football League and the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship; he lined out at left half forward in the final win over Mayo, scored two points and was awarded an All-Star at the end of the year. He won a second Munster title in 1998, and his last championship appearance was the All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Kildare. Away from football he became chief executive of Cara Credit Union after earlier working with Allied Irish Banks.
