‘George loved greatly, and was greatly loved’

GEORGE Briscoe passed away this week at 94 years young. A remarkable man, his dedication to his beloved Tara Harriers, as master for 72 seasons, knew no boundaries. He always spoke proudly of his fellow masters and the loyalty of the hunt staff. As master of the Taras and chairman of the Meath Foxhounds, he continuously reminded followers that to hunt across the countryside was a privilege that had to be respected.
