Show Notes

Why is Casement Park so divisive? When Ravenhill and Windsor Park were redeveloped in the north they had cross community support. What is it about a GAA stadium that enrages a certain faction of unionists?


On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at the issue of Casement Park and explain why it is linked to the days of naked sectarianism.


The redeveloped stadium will be a shining beacon on the hill in Belfast. A sign of progress and reconciliation. Is this why it angers some people so much?


Like the invisible sea border, the Irish language and a Sinn Fein First Minister, this is another battle loyalism cannot win.
