It certainly was long overdue. Caherline NS teacher, Mulcahy has been playing for Limerick for fifteen years. 2019 was the fifth time Niamh was nominated for an All-Star award. Some of the other awards Niamh has picked up over the years include being named Young Player of the Year in 2007 and an Intermediate Soaring Star award in 2014.

The gold Fáinne (the Fáinne Óir) signifies that a person has fluent Irish and Conroy, a fluent Irish speaker, is the ambassador for that Fáinne. Declan Hannon who has a cúpla focal Gaeilge will be the GAA’s ambassador for the Fáinne Airgid, (the Silver Fáinne) that signifies some level of proficiency in Irish. “The Irish language is a massive part of our culture and heritage, and it’s definitely at the back of my mind a lot of the time when I’m going to different events, that you have your ‘cúpla focal’ and you’re able to converse a bit with the Gaelgeoirs that’ll be at these events. We all should give our language the respect it deserves,’’ explains Declan Hannon. Christmas PresentAT LAST LAST AT Sorted! The20 story/ 20of Limerick’s Vision Hurling Evolution Watch this space!

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

  • Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861
    Roll of Honour Irish Athletics Champions 1861 - 2019 Comments, additions, corrections to Pierce O'Callaghan [email protected] & Cyril Smyth [email protected] as at December 2019 The Irish Champion Athletic Club (Irish Champions AC) was founded during late 1872/early 1873 and organised the first Irish Championships on Monday July 7, 1873 in College Park Dublin. These championships have been held every year since and are the longest running national championships in the world. The Irish Champions AC, then foundered quite rapidly, being wound-up in 1880/81. Thereafter the championship meeting was run by an ad hoc committee in 1881, and by the Dublin Athletic Club from 1882 to 1884. After several abortive attempts to establish a national governing body for athletics, two were formed over the winter months of 1884/85. First the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) was formed not alone to encourage and administer athletics, but also to develop and foster the traditional Irish field sports of hurling and football, as well as handball. Their action galvanised the existing athletics "establishment" in Dublin who perceived the formation of the GAA - insofar as pertained to athletics as a usurpation, and so was formed, very soon after, the Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA). The distinction between the two rival governing associations is often explained in purely political terms whereas, in reality, the situation is rather more complex; particularly since both organisations embraced a quite broad spectrum of political aspiration, so that once the initial hostilities subsided the majority of athletes, whatever their affiliations, seemed to have no philosophical problems competing in the promotions of both bodies, open meetings as well as championships.
