Tributes have flooded in following the passing of popular Waterford referee and former All-Ireland winner Paul Foley.
Paul, who was on the Munster intercounty referee's panel, passed away on Tuesday.
He officiated Waterford Crystal Cup games earlier this year and was a highly regarded whistler.
Paul scored two goals in the 1992 All-Ireland minor hurling final as Waterford overcame Galway.
Munster GAA released the following statement:
"It is with regret that Munster Council GAA has learnt of the death of Paul Foley of Waterford who was a serving member of the Munster GAA refereeing panel.
