Former Kerry football team manager Mick O'Dwyer has died at the age of forty- eight. Tá iarbhainisteoir fhoireann peile Chiarraí Mick O'Dwyer tar éis bháis in aois a ocht mbliana agus ceithre scór. 'Micko' was one of Ireland's greatest sporting figures and won many medals, championships, trophies and awards as a player and manager throughout his life. Duine de mhórphearsana spóirt na hÉireann ab ea 'Micko' agus is iomaí bonn, craobh, corn agus gradam nach iad a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir i gcaitheamh a shaoil. He won four All-Ireland championships as a player and eight championships as a pioneering manager of that famous elite team that Kerry had in the seventies and eighties. Ceithre chraobh Uile- Éireann a bhuaigh sé mar imreoir agus ocht gcraobh mar bhainisteoir ceannródaíoch ar an scothfhoireann cháiliúil úd a bhí ag Ciarraí sna seachtóidí agus sna hochtóidí. The Kerry team at that time, led by the Waterford man, were often in footy duels with the great Dublin team led by Kevin Heffernan, games that are deeply engraved and carved in stone for the Gaelic Athletic Association. Ba mhinic na Ciarraígh an uair úd, faoi stiúir fhear an Choireáin, i ndeabhaidh chosbháire le sárfhoireann Bhaile Átha Cliath a raibh Kevin Heffernan ina ceannas, cluichí atá greanta go domhain agus go snoite i gcloch oiris Chumann Lúthchleas Gael. Not counting the All-Ireland Championship, Mick O'Dwyer won the Munster Championship 23 times and the National League eleven times as both a player and manager. Gan Craobh na hÉireann a bhac, bhuaigh Mick O'Dwyer Craobh na Mumhan 23 uair agus an tSraith Náisúnta aon uair déag mar imreoir agus mar bhainisteoir araon. Although he was a staunch Kerryman, his talent was sought after in other counties as well and he was lured by teams that were not performing well – namely, Kildare, Laois, Wicklow and Clare – in the hope that he would turn the malt into ale, even though he was a man who had always abstained from intoxicating drink. Cé gur Ciarraíoch dílis go smior a bhí ann, bhí tóir ar a ardchumas i gcontaetha eile leis agus mealladh é ag foirne nach raibh ag cruthú go maith – mar atá, Cill Dara, Laois, Cill Mhantáin agus an Clár – le súil go ndéanfadh sé leann den bhraich, siúd is go mb'fhear é a staon riamh ón deoch mheisciúil. In fact, Kildare won the Leinster Championship in 1998 and 2000 under the guidance of Mick O'Dwyer and that team reached the All-Ireland final in 1998, when they were beaten by Galway by four goals. Go deimhin, bhain Cill Dara Craobh Laighean i 1998 agus in 2000 faoi lámh stiúrtha Mick O'Dwyer agus chuaigh an fhoireann sin chomh fada le cluiche ceannais Chraobh na hÉireann i 1998, tráth a fuair Gaillimh an ceann is fearr orthu le ceithre chúilín. Mick O'Dwyer made his living as an innkeeper and undertaker in Waterville. Is mar óstóir agus adhlacóir sa Choireán a shaothraigh Mick O'Dwyer a bheatha. His first wife Mary Carmel died in 2012 and he married Geraldine Shields in 2023. Bhásaigh a chéad bhean chéile Mary Carmel in 2012 agus phós sé Geraldine Shields in 2023. He is survived by his sons John, Robbie and Karl. Maireann a chlann mhac John, Robbie agus Karl. He was predeceased by another son, Michael. Bhásaigh roimhe mac eile, Michael.

We're on holiday! So please enjoy this classic episode of the podcast first recorded back in 2018. We'll be back soon with all new episodes and Halfpint extra content. == The most popular sports in Ireland are the Gaelic games: uniquely Irish sports with an ancient history and a dramatic political backstory that are finding increasing international success. Tim visits the Paris Gaels to hear why players who have never set foot in Ireland have taken to Gaelic football, while Naomi explores the importance of the intensely local amateur sports to communities in Ireland. We hear from sports historian Paul Rouse of University College Dublin on how the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884 was deeply linked to the nationalist politics of the time. From Bronze Age myths about hurling matches between ancient tribes, to a devastating massacre in Croke Park stadium in 1920, we hear why modern Ireland can't be understood without the GAA.

In the summer of 1972, Muhammed Ali fought in the unlikely venue of Croke Park in Dublin, at the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association. His opponent was an ex-con called Al "Blue" Lewis. And their fight was co-promoted by restless impresario and strongman "Butty" Sugrue.

Líomhaintí faoi ionsaí ar pháiste ag cluiche CLG á bhfiosrú. Gardaí are investigating allegations of an alleged attack on a child during a game under 9 Gaelic Athletic Association in Co Tipperary. Tá líomhaintí faoi ionsaí a deirtear a rinneadh ar pháiste le linn cluiche faoi 9 Chumann Lúthchleas Gael i gCo Thiobraid Árann á bhfiosrú ag na Gardaí. Munster Council, GAA are also investigating the matter. Tá Comhairle na Mumhan, CLG ag fiosrú an scéil freisin. It is understood that the child was injured when a man went on the playing field. Tuigtear gur gortaíodh an leanbh nuair a chuaigh fear ar an bpáirc imeartha. The incident happened during a blitz competition that was held in MacMurris Park near Semple Stadium in Thurles last Saturday morning. Tharla an eachtra le linn blitzchomórtais a bhí ar siúl i bPáirc Mhic Mhuiris in aice le Staid Semple i nDurlas ar maidin Dé Sathairn seo caite. The spokesperson for Munster Council said that a report is awaited from those who organized the blitz competition. Dúirt urlabhraí Chomhairle na Mumhan go bhfuiltear ag fanacht le tuairisc ón dream a d'eagraigh an blitzchomórtas. The cause of concern in the Gaelic Athletic Association at the moment is the number of clashes at Gaelic games in different parts of the country over the past three months. Údar imní i gCumann Lúthchleas Gael faoi láthair is ea an líon achrann ag cluichí Gaelacha in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír le trí mhí. Two GAA mentors in Wexford and another in Roscommon have recently been suspended by the organization due to various incidents. Tá beirt mheantóirí CLG i Loch Garman agus duine eile i Ros Comáin curtha ar fionraí ag an eagraíocht le gairid de bharr eachtraí éagsúla.

Ashling Murphy: "bean óg a scaip aoibhneas agus grá". Ashling Murphy, the young woman who was killed in Tullamore last week, was buried in Co Offaly today. Adhlacadh i gCo Uíbh Fhailí inniu Ashling Murphy, an bhean óg a maraíodh i dTulach Mhór an tseachain seo caite. Ashling Murphy, a 23 - year - old teacher, was assaulted and killed on a sidewalk alongside the Grand Canal in Cappacurra, Tullamore, at around 4pm last Wednesday evening. Ionsaíodh agus maraíodh Ashling Murphy, múinteoir 23 bliain d'aois, ar chosán taobh leis an gCanáil Mhór i gCeapach an Churraigh, Tulach Mhór, ag thart ar 4 a chlog tráthnóna Dé Céadaoin seo caite. One of the main funerals at this morning's Mass at St. Brigid's Church in Bolas Hill was the family of Ashling Murphy - Raymond and Kathleen - her sister Amy, brother Cathal and partner Ryan Casey. Ar na príomhshochraidigh ag an Aifreann éagnairce i Séipéal Naomh Bríd i gCnocán Bhólais ar maidin, bhí muintir Ashling Murphy - Raymond agus Kathleen - a deirfiúr Amy, a deartháir Cathal agus a páirtí Ryan Casey. Leading celebrant Father Michael Meade said in his address that Ashling was a triumph of victory snatched from his family and party. Dúirt an príomhcheiliúraí an tAthair Michael Meade ina aitheasc gur séad bua ab ea Ashling a sciobadh óna teaghlach agus óna páirtí. She is a person, he said, who has given joy, love, excitement and laughter to many people. Duine í, a dúirt sé, a dháil aoibhneas, grá, sult agus gáire ar a lán daoine. Father Meade also pointed out that many questions have been raised in the community since Ashling 's death and that he hoped that the necessary change in circumstances would come in the light of what had happened to the young woman. Thug an tAthair Meade le fios chomh maith gur tógadh go leor ceisteanna i measc an phobail ó maraíodh Ashling agus go raibh súil aige go dtiocfadh an t-athrú a bhfuil gá leis ar chúrsaí i bhfianaise ar tharla don bhean óg. Bishop of Meath Dr Thomas Deenihan was also one of the celebrants of the Mass and said that Ashling 's murder casts doubt on people's attitudes towards women, and challenges our values and morals. Bhi Easpag na Mí an Dr Thomas Deenihan ar dhuine de cheiliúraithe an Aifrinn chomh maith agus dúirt seisean go gcaitheann marú Ashling amhras ar dhearcadh daoine ar mhná, agus go dtugann sé dúshlán ár gcuid luachanna agus ár moráltachta. As they read the public prayer, Ashling's cousins drew attention to all the beeping that took place in his honor throughout Ireland and abroad. Agus guí an phobail á léamh acu, tharranig col ceathracha Ashling aird ar na bigilí ar fad a bhí ar siúl ina hónóir ar fud na hÉireann agus thar lear. It has been argued that these beggars would be the beginning, the end of violence against women. Impíodh gur tús a bheadh sna bigilí sin, tús an deiridh le foréigean ar mhná. Also present at the funeral were many of his friends from school, college, the Gaelic Athletic Association and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. I láthair ag an tsochraid chomh maith, bhí go leor dá cairdre ón scoil, ón gcoláiste, ó Chumann Lúthchleas Gael agus ó Chomhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann. Ashling was a member of the Athboy Fellowship. Bhí Ashling ina ball de Chomhaltas Bhaile Átha Buí. Ella Flaherty, Ashling's best friend since they were children, was among the local musicians who played the music at Mass. Bhí Ella Flaherty, cara cléibh Ashling ó bhí siad ina bpáistí, i measc na gceoltóirí áitúla a chas an ceol ag an Aifreann. A number of symbols of Ashling's life were brought to the altar in her homage - a fiddle, a Kilcormac / Killaghy camogie jumper, a picture of her family, a school book and a photograph of herself. Tugadh roinnt samhailchomharthaí ar shaol Ashling chun na haltóra ina hómós - fidil,

Ireland's evolution in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century

Ógánaigh buailte le meabhairshláinte,go háirithe i nDún na nGall. A GP in County Donegal says that a large number of young people, in particular, are coming to clinics for help with mental health. Deir dochtúir teaghlaigh i gContaeDhún na nGall go bhfuil líon mór daoine óga go háirithe, ag teacht chuig clinicí ag iarraidh cabhair maidir le meabhairshláinte. It is now clear that the pandemic and the tough rules that affected it affected the mental health of adults who followed the instructions and stayed at home. Is léir anois gur chuir an phaindéim agus na rialacha diana a bhain léithe isteach ar shláinte meabhrach dhaoine fásta a chloígh leis na treoracha agus a d'fhan sa bhaile. Dr. says. Deir an Dr. Ciarán Ó Fearraigh, who owns dispensaries in Sraith an Urláir and Conbhaigh in east Donegal, that the vaccination program against the Covid-19 virus is giving people hope that we are drawing to an end of the crisis. Ciarán Ó Fearraigh, a bhfuil íoclanna aige i Sraith an Urláir agus i gConbhaigh in oirthear Dhún na nGall, go bhfuil an clár vacsaínithe in éadan an víreas covid 19 ag tabhairt dóchais do dhaoine go bhfuil muid ag tarraingt ar dheireadh na géarchéime. 'That said,' he says, 'the damage that the past year has done to mental health is revealing itself'. 'Ach sin ráite', deir sé 'go bhfuil an damáiste atá déanta ag an bhliain atá caite don mheabhairshláinte á nochtadh féin'. "I see a lot of people coming in and they're in trouble. "Tchím cuid mhór daoine ag teacht isteach agus iad i dtrioblóid. People are suffering - especially the young. Tá daoine ag fulaingt - go háirithe an t-aos óg. but also adults, who were adhering to restrictions and staying home. ach daoine fásta chomh maith, a bhí ag cloí le srianta agus ag fanacht sa bhaile. Now that older people have a vaccine, they have a chance to move out and meet and that will help them. Anois agus vacsaín ag daoine níos sine, tá seans acu bogadh amach agus buaileadh le chéile agus cuideoidh sin leosan. But young people still have difficulties with restraints. Ach tá deacrachtaí ag an aos óg go fóill le srianta. We will have trouble with that and it is important in the coming months that the services are provided and that we help people as much as we can. Beidh trioblóid againn leis sin agus tá sé tábhachtach sna míonna amach romhainn go bhfuil na seirbhísí curtha ar fáil agus oiread cuidiú a thabhairt do dhaoine is a thig linn. If we as GPs can cater for people who come to us, we will, but if not, we will refer them to local and regional services such as Jigsaw. Más féidir linne mar dhochtúirí teaghlaigh riar do dhaoine a thagann chugainn, dhéanfaimid sin, ach munar féidir, cuirfimid ar aghaidh iad chuig seirbhísí áitiúla agus réigiúnacha mar Jigsaw. There are difficulties in accessing psychiatric services, especially for young people and more of this is needed in the county. mental health yet to be seen The Gaelic Athletic Association knows that the pandemic has affected people of all ages. Tá deacrachtaí ag baint le teacht ar sheirbhísí sicíatracha go háirithe do dhaoine óga agus tá níos mó den chinéal sin de dhíth sa chondae Deir Bord Condae CLG gur maith go bhfuil imeachtaí spóirt tosaithe arís, ach gur léir chomh maith nach bhfuil tionchar iomlán na dianghlasála ar an mheabhairshláinte le feiceáil go fóill Tá a fhios ag Cumann Lúthchleas Gael gur chuir an phaindéim as do dhaoine de gach aois. The GAA Donegal County Board 's Irish Language Officer, Fearghas Mac Aoidh, says that it is important to seek help, if people feel that they have a problem. Deir Oifigeach Gaeilge Bhord Condae Dhún na nGall de CLG, Fearghas Mac Aoidh, go bhfuil sé tábhachtach lámh chuidithe a iarraidh, má mhothaíonn daoine go bhfuil fadhb acu.

If we were having this conversation three years from today, what would have to happen for you to feel happy with your progress? We always ask, any stories from the road, but the road now is a distant memory – still, any stories? What do you do besides lead the GAA in Cleveland and the Midwest? Woodie Guthrie said, ‘You write what you see’. Has that held true for you as a leader? What did you see in the GAA that made you choose to take on the leadership of the GAA?

Irish immigrants of the 1950s and 1960s had a huge impact on Gaelic sports in Cleveland. After WWII, Gaelic Athletic Association promoters like Cleveland's Henry Cavanagh began talking about re-starting inter-city competition for Gaelic sports in 1949. Cleveland was in the forefront, as Henry Cavanagh invited colleagues from other Midwest cities to attend the first Midwest GAA convention in Cleveland in 1950. In the early 1950s, Cleveland organized multiple intramural squads for Gaelic Football, Hurling, and Women's Camogie. By the early 1960s, immigrant players coalesced around one strong, competitive football team—Cleveland St. Pat's. St. Pat's captured five consecutive national titles from 1962 through 1966. Hundreds of unheralded players kept Gaelic sports alive in Cleveland, through their commitment to the GAA values of discipline and teamwork, and their love of the games. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The family had appealed against a judge's ruling in a lower ecclesiastical court last year that an English version of the inscription must also be placed on the slab for fear that people might think the Irish language was a political slogan. Bhí achomharc déanta ag an teaghlach in aghaidh rialú breithimh i gcúirt eaglasta níos ísle anuraidh go gcaithfí leagan Béarla den inscríbhinn a chur ar an leac chomh maith ar eagla go gceapfadh daoine gur mana polaitiúil a bhí sa Ghaeilge. The family's attorney claimed that the ruling was discriminatory and that there were inscriptions in Welsh, Latin and Hebrew on other gravestones in the same cemetery with no translations. Mhaígh aturnae an teaghlaigh go raibh an rialú sin leithchealach agus go raibh inscríbhinní i mBreatnais, i Laidin agus in Eabhrais ar leaca uaighe eile sa reilig chéanna gan aon aistriúcháin lena dtaobh. At the appeal in the historic St Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside in London city center today, the ecclesiastical court accepted those arguments and the three judges ordered that a translation be provided to the registrar in the local parish. Ag an achomharc i séipéal stairiúil St Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside i lár chathair Londan inniu, ghlac an chúirt eaglasta leis na hargóintí sin agus dordaigh an triúr breitheamh go gcuirfí aistriúchán ar fáil don chláraitheoir sa pharóiste áitiúil. They will publish their full judgment in the future. Foilseoidh siad a mbreithiúnas iomlán amach anseo. Margaret Keane 's family brought the case with the help of the London branch of. Thug clann Margaret Keane an cás le cúnamh ó Chraobh Londan de Chonradh na Gaeilge. The family was also supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior member of the Church of England, and promised to pay their expenses. Thacaigh Ardeaspag Canterbury, an té is sinsearaí in Eaglais Shasana, leis an teaghlach chomh maith agus gheall sé a gcuid costas a íoc. Ecclesiastical courts are independent of the Church itself in England. Tá cúirteanna eaglasta neamhspleách ar an Eaglais féin i Sasana.

This week I chat with filmmaker Gerry Nelson about his new documentary about Cork’s hurling legend Christy Ring. I would be lying if I was to say I have a deep affinity to Cork hurling, and to the legend that is Christy Ring. I have nothing against him either, or Cork hurling. But what I am interested in, is the history of the Gaelic Athletic Association, and how this mighty sporting institution weaves its way into the lives and communities of almost every parish on the island of Ireland. And that is how I crossed paths with Gerry earlier in the year – when he was carrying out research for this documentary. I love Gerry’s energy and enthusiasm for his art – the art of filmmaking. And I was curious to learn more about how to weave a story through the medium of film. From our chats I realised that I never really appreciated the thousands of hours of research and unseen work that goes on behind the scenes of say a 1hr documentary. I really have to say hats off to all those involved. And I am very much looking forward to seeing the final edit on RTE TV in a couple of weeks (Thursday 17th December).

Besides being a celebrated student debater, who replaced Ken Clarke and handily defeated Vince Cable in 1964 as President of the Cambridge Union, then one of Ireland's leading constitutional and administrative lawyers, a biographer, obituarist and a man of letters Charles Lysaght has been a noted cricketer and host of cricketers in Ireland for over sixty years. (For the curious, he is a distant kinsman of Cornelius Lysaght, the racing commentator.) He shares his deep love and knowledge of the history of Irish cricket and its literary heritage with Peter Oborne and Richard Heller as the latest guest in their cricket-themed podcast.Delving into the early history of Irish cricket, Charles Lysaght reveals the score made by the future Duke of Wellington in the match in 1792 between the Dublin Garrison and All Ireland – and the other future duke who dismissed him with an underarm delivery.  2-4 minutesHe explains how cricket became popular in rural Ireland after Waterloo, often but not exclusively through teams raised by landlords for their tenants, and also in Dublin. One cricketing landlord was Charles Stewart Parnell. Charles Lysaght says that he was not a popular captain and once led his team off in a sulk over an umpire's decision. Parnell gave up cricket when he entered the House of Commons and led the campaign for Home Rule – but his onfield behaviour might have inspired his successful obstructive Parliamentary tactics. 5-8 minutesHe mentions another surprising  Irish politician to have played cricket – Eamonn De Valera, at Blackrock school. De Valera enjoyed watching cricket, and even more so rugby, but had to conceal this from the powerful Gaelic Athletic Association, which for nearly a hundred years tried to ban Irish people from playing or even watching so-called English “garrison games.” 9-12 minutesCharles Lysaght describes two nineteenth-century Irish cricketers who played for England, Leland Hone, from a celebrated artistic and literary family, and an irascible but talented baronet, Sir Tom O'Brien (no relation of Ireland's recent batting hero Kevin O'Brien). 13-15 minutes He is surprised to learn of a third: J E P McMaster (born in County Down) accompanied England's first organized tour of South Africa and played in a match later given Test status. He was out for a golden duck, did not bowl and did not take a catch. This represented his entire first-class career. 17-19 minutesHe explores the rich links between Irish cricket and literature, particularly those forged by Clongowes School, in county Kildare. He reads James Joyce's beautiful short description of cricket there in Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man, although noting that Joyce was forced to leave the school at the age of ten. He is sceptical about the feat later ascribed by Joyce in Ulysses to Captain Buller – hitting a six on the Trinity College ground through the window of the Kildare Street Club at square leg. 25-27 minutesAnother Clongowes cricket-lover was the barrister and Home Rule MP Tom Kettle (who once said that the only legal briefs he ever received were from cricket friends). Charles Lysaght reads Kettle's beautiful sonnet to his infant daughter, composed before his death on the Somme in the Great War. He explains its political and moral context and contrasts this with Yeats' celebrated poem An Irish Airman Forsees His Death (whose subject, Robert Gregory, was also an Irish cricketer.) 21-25 minutesAnd more...

Next month is Black History Month. I have been taking some time to educate myself on racial issues, and attempt to understand the ongoing struggle and frustration of people living with racism. This week’s chat with Áine Mulloy is insightful for anyone interested in living in a more equal and just society. A society where the colour of skin does not define or exclude people from identifying as a proud, Irish citizen. Áine Mulloy, Diversity & Inclusion advocate and TEDx speaker, talks growing up black, and Irish. Topics include: Personal experiences of racism in Ireland Lack of support from authorities including An Garda Síochána (police) Protected and accepted in small, rural community versus racism experiences escalated in anonymous, urban cities Sense of relief to finally make friends in adulthood with another black person ‘Yes, I’m Irish!’ …. Yes, but where are you really from? Who is actually, ‘Irish’? Sport a great equaliser. The Gaelic Athletic Association doing a lot of work to improve diversity and inclusion in local communities. Experience of hair as part of black identity and history Idea of time being ‘spent/wasted’ in Western society, versus in African societies where a task takes as long as it takes – not dictated by time: an alternative, calmer way of perceiving time #Black Lives Matter – recent protests in Ireland Grassroot movements in Ireland – appetite for change Discuss what white Irish people can do to become anti-racist Educate ourselves!

Today we are joined by Seán Crosson, leader of the Sport and Exercise Research Group at NUI Galway, co-director of the MA in Sports Journalism and Communication, and Professor at the Huston School of Film and Digital Media. He is also the author of Gaelic Games on Film: From Silent Films to Hollywood Hurling, Horror, and the Emergence of Irish Cinema (Cork University Press, 2019). In our conversation, we discussed the first depictions of Gaelic Games on film; American and British portrayals of hurling and Gaelic football that popularized and subverted Irish stereotypes; the role of the Gaelic Games in promoting Irish Nationalism, and the contemporary subversion of conservative notions of Irishness through representations of the games since the 1960s. Along the way, we discussed numerous popular films such as Knocknagow (1918), The Quiet Man (1952), and The Wind that Shakes the Barley (2006). In Gaelic Games on Film, Crosson traces out the use of Irish sports in Irish, American, and British cinema. His analysis engages with different kinds of cinema, including dramas, silent and horror films, as well as non-fiction accounts in documentaries and newsreels. Many of these accounts challenged the normative description of hurling and Gaelic football presented by the Gaelic Athletic Association. Depictions of Gaelic games in American and British films relied upon and subverted stereotypes about the Irish, especially their supposed propensity to violence, to both situate Irish nationhood within its international context with its closest neighbours and to manage the integration of Irish migrants leaving the country in great numbers in the middle of the twentieth century. Their Irish cinema counterparts, who with few exceptions took to cinema work a little later, following the redevelopment of the Irish film industry after independence, used hurling and Gaelic football to both articulate and critique notions of Irish masculinity, religiosity, and conservativism. Here Crosson points out that the popularity and legibility of sports contributed to the development of Irish cultural institutions such as the National Film Institute of Ireland and Gael Linn, who both produced newsreels of the Gaelic Games to sell to cinemas around the country and benefitted from the popularity of those movies. Listeners interested in seeing some clips of the films in question can watch another interview with Crosson here. Crosson's work offers innovative perspectives on the interplay between histories of sport and cinema. This book will appeal to readers interested in Irish, sports, and film studies. Keith Rathbone is a lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He researches twentieth-century French social and cultural history. His manuscript, entitled A Nation in Play: Physical Culture, the State, and Society during France's Dark Years, 1932-1948, examines physical education and sports in order to better understand civic life under the dual authoritarian systems of the German Occupation and the Vichy Regime.

A look into the history of the GAA, how the sports are played, why they are so culturally focused, and how war effected the games

Today we are joined by Natalie Koch, Associate Professor of Geography at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, and editor of Critical Geographies of Sport: Space, Power, and Sport in Global Perspective (Routledge, 2017).  In our conversation, we discuss the growing field of critical sports geography, the role of sports in authoritarian regimes, and the neo-liberalization of sports. In Critical geographies, Koch joins other scholars to address a wide range of sports issues, including the demolition of South Korea’s Dongdaemun baseball stadium, professional wrestling in the territorial era in the United States, and the identity politics of the Gaelic Athletic Association.  An emphasis on space and the ways that space embodies power and power relations, underpins the volume’s diverse offerings and draws them into fruitful conversation with each other. The collected essays fall into two categories: the first half of the book examines sports, geopolitics, and the state.  Here Koch offers her own fascinating analysis of authoritarian leaders – including Mao Zedong, Vladimir Putin, and Sheikh Zayed – and their use of sports to promote the legitimacy of their regime and their own cult of personality.  Koch is especially careful to differentiate between the distinct masculine discourses at work in China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates and the way those discourses made use of the divergent topographies of their countries: tundra, desert and massive river delta. The second half of the book deals with sports, community, and urban space.  Here authors address the opportunities and limitations offered by sports as a tool of social assimilation and integration; the role stadium projects play in the neo-liberalization of public spaces; and the problematic politics of megaevents. In a coda, Koch and David Jansson provoke further questions by gesturing towards the role social justice can play in critical sports geography. Each one of these essays in this volume offers enticing insights into the ways that power and space intersect in the sports sphere.  Geographers interested in the field of critical sports geography should read this book but scholars generally interested in questions of sports, power, and space are also encouraged to check out this compelling work. Keith Rathbone is a lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.  He researches twentieth-century French social and cultural history. His manuscript, entitled A Nation in Play: Physical Culture, the State, and Society during France’s Dark Years, 1932-1948, examines physical education and sports in order to better understand civic life under the dual authoritarian systems of the German Occupation and the Vichy Regime.  If you have a title to suggest for this podcast, please contact him at keith.rathbone@mq.edu.au Learn more about your ad choices.

The history of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) dates back to 1884, as the organisation that codified the various Gaelic Games, including Gaelic Football and Hurling. However, the origins and roots of the various games go back much, much further and could not be more historically significant to the history of Ireland and its people. Today, Gaelic Football is widely popular in Ireland and is played around the world; wherever one finds Ireland’s ‘Wild Geese’, one can find Gaelic Football. In this episode, Versus History gives a warm welcome to two very special guests: Gaelic Football players from Mayo in the Republic of Ireland, who represent the 'Bahrain Celts' in the Middle East. They are Orla Reilly and John Doherty, who in this episode discuss all aspects of the history of the GAA and the Gaelic Games, with Co-Editors Patrick (@historychappy) and Elliott (@thelibrarian6) asking the key questions.

Join hosts Kyle and Joel and their guest the actor Amy Fleming as they watch LIVE the last sixteen game between Switzerland and Sweden. Also featuring Amy's insight into recent Gaelic Athletic Association controversy and Kyle's epic Sweden-based acrostic poem. Every episode of the Absolute Worldie podcast is jam-packed with killer (and sometimes utterly fatuous) facts about footballing nations and beyond. Not only that but we highlight the hottest players and point out the most ludicrous and intriguing narratives. Absolute Worldie is the perfect pod for everyone: from those interested in the World Cup to those who couldn't care less we've got something for all!

The most popular sports in Ireland are the Gaelic games: uniquely Irish sports with an ancient history and a dramatic political backstory that are finding increasing international success. Tim Mc Inerney visits the Paris Gaels to hear why players who have never set foot in Ireland have taken to Gaelic football, while Naomi O'Leary explores the importance of the intensely local amateur sports to communities in Ireland. We hear from sports historian Paul Rouse of University College Dublin on how the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1884 was deeply linked to the nationalist politics of the time. From Bronze Age myths about hurling matches between ancient tribes, to a devastating massacre in Croke Park stadium in 1920, we hear why modern Ireland can't be understood without the GAA.

The Pittsburgh Gaelic Athletic Association (PGAA) was founded in 2010 and has since promoted the Irish sport and culture in Pittsburgh.  Of course, this was not the start of Gaelic sport in Pittsburgh.  Gaelic football has been played in Pittsburgh … Continue reading →

Clare Balding visits Croke Park in Dublin, to discover the story behind the formation of the Gaelic Athletic Association and it's founder Michael Cusack. All this week in Sport and the British Clare has been exploring how sport defined and gave an independence to the nations of the British Isles, nowhere is this more evident and vocal than in Ireland. The GAA defined what it was to be Irish - meaning how far removed that is from being English and hurling and Irish football were a way of exemplifying that. Clare talks to Dr Paul Rouse of University College Dublin and Professor Michael Cronin of Boston College Ireland about the history and future of the GAA. The reader is Jonathan Forbes Producer: Lucy Lunt.
