- In the town of Dunmanway, the local GAA team is called the Sam Maguires and their pitch too is named after him.
In 2002 Cork County Council refurbished Dunmanway town square and unveiled a statue of Sam Maguire at a cost of €25,000. However, the council's role remains a reactive one. Jerome Sullivan of the Council says it was actually a group of schoolchildren who approached them about building a commemorative statue to their local hero.
