Podcasts about Croke Park

It's been a dramatic week for Irish artists, activism and the UK's terrorism law. Sally Rooney — one of Ireland's most prominent literary voices — has made headlines for her vocal support of Palestine Action, a group recently designated a terrorist organisation by the UK government. The Normal People author has pledged to donate earnings from her books and BBC adaptations to the group — a move that could place her at risk of arrest under UK anti-terror legislation. Her stance came in the same week that Kneecap rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh appeared in a London court on terrorism charges, accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, back home, another protest is gathering momentum — this time in the world of sport. A letter signed by around 800 GAA players — including stars from football, hurling and camogie — was delivered to Croke Park, calling on the association to cut ties with Allianz, one of its biggest sponsors. The call comes after a UN special rapporteur's report named Allianz, through its asset-management arm Pimco, as a significant buyer of Israeli government bonds. On today's Indo Daily, Tessa Fleming is joined by TRT World presenter Enda Brady and Conor McKeon, sports journalist with the Irish Independent, to look at the high-profile costs and consequences of speaking out on Israel and Palestine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Up for the MatchOff on Sunday morning to Croke Park. Dark skies. Lots of grey clouds. Our journey was delayed by Féile An Phobail's 5km and 10km run. Diverted and distracted we eventually got out of West Belfast and on the road to Dublin. Enroute the dark skies lightened. The grey clouds gave way to blue heavens and gentle sunshine. We were off to watch Antrim's Lady Footballers in our own All Ireland against Louth. As we crossed the Border KneeCap kept our spirits high. Their ceol blasted out and the car rocked as we hip hopped to the Capital. A morning after the night before follow-on from Saturday evening's Falls Park Country frolicks.The match in Croker started off positively with Antrim taking an early lead but Louth soon asserted themselves and Antrim was chasing the game from then until the last ten minutes. Some of the players may have been overwhelmed by the big occasion.  If so who could blame them? To play in Croke is mighty and Antrim supporters were out in strength. Everyone, including us, as proud as could be.  Family members, club mates. The number of Northern Gaels was swelled by Tyrone supporters who later went on to win their championship against Laois. Dublin went on to best Meath in the Seniors. A great day of Gaelic football.Gaza – An Gorta Mór – The StarvationThe scenes of desperation as starving people in Gaza try to get basins or pots filled with soup, are shocking images. It is a famine we are told. Last week the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a United Nations panel which had long warned of the threat of famine, concluded that it was now a reality.The use of the word ‘famine' and the images of starving children are a reminder for many in Ireland of what life must have been like during An Gorta Mór in the 1840s. But it is important to note that in a famine there is no food. In Ireland there was plenty of food. During those years the quaysides of ports along our coast were lined each day with abundant produce - all bound for export. It was a starvation.The hunger in Gaza is an Israeli made starvation. Aid agencies and the UN have more than enough food and medical aid ready to enter Gaza. Israel prevents this. It is not a famine – it is a starvationOrangism in the New IrelandThe northern statelet was built for unionism. It was constructed and then managed in a way to ensure that nationalists would never have a say in running the place.We are less than three years off the 30th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Most citizens, and many within the broad unionist section of our people, have grown accustomed to the stability and peace it has brought but there are others who still hanker after the old days of supremacy. The DUP shares the office of the First Minister with Sinn Féin but their strategy is focused on the next Assembly election in two years' time and their aim is to remove Michelle O'Neill as First Minister. That is why there is a battle a day over Irish language rights. That is why there has been no start on building the new Casement. That is why there is negative nonsense over bi-lingual signage in public places.

Clare claimed Munster Junior honours in his first year involved as a joint manager of the Junior and Senior sides in 2022 and oversaw an All Ireland Junior title in his first season in the managers role. This year saw The Banner's senior side compete in Croke Park for the first time where they were defeated by Waterford in the All Ireland Quarter Final, having pushed Munster champions Cork to the pin of their collar in their group stage clash.
