Titanic Tragedy

Michael Collins is one of the most famous figures in Irish history. He became the most wanted man in the British Empire, a minister in the first Irish government and Commander-in-Chief of the army. He helped to negotiate the Treaty, which allowed Britain to keep the Six Counties. Many fellow fighters refused to settle for this leading to the Irish Civil War and the 1922 ambush in which Collins was killed by former comrades.

In Dublin city a small piece of green space, 160 meters by 90 meters, is possibly the most famous space in Ireland. Hardly a single Irish boy or girl hasn't dreamed of one day running onto that space to the roar of 80,000 people. But none of this would exist without the GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association). This is the story of how the GAA became the most important sporting organization in Ireland. It begins as a story of a few people with vision, continues with survival through war and strife, but most of all it is a story of sport and of the men and women who play the games.
