Telling GAA Stories through Objects

Linen Hall Library 17 Donegall Square North, Belfast, United Kingdom

The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) plays an influential role in society that extends far beyond the sport. In popular imagination and experience, the GAA is often evoked through objects: medals passed down from generation to generation, jerseys worn in All-Ireland finals, Cúl Camps backpacks. This talk explores fascinating objects and their stories, that were uncovered by Siobhán Doyle when researching and writing her book 'A History of the GAA in 100 Objects'.
