Show Notes

People were denied the truth in the north during the troubles and that denial of truth extended to sport.


The coverage of the GAA reflected the nature of Northern Ireland at the time.


On Free State, Dion and Joe look at how the north is changing and why sport is too.


The resistance to Casement Park’s redevelopment is the death rattle for the old ways when the GAA found itself billed below the Pigeon News and topless darts. Those days are gone and as Jarlath Burns takes over the GAA presidency, Joe and Dion look forward to a vibrant confident Northern Ireland where no one has anything to fear.
