GAA History Podcast Alert📣! Starting a new series with Ciaran O'Hara called Over the Bar, exploring hidden and half-forgotten GAA stories. Today: why did the GAA take an All-Ireland final to New York?Listen, share, subscribe, follow @gaaoverthebar. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/show/0yPSnM…
Just such sad news. Spent some time with her before the 2024 Olympics and all the tributes ring true: warm, friendly, genuine, funny, ambitious, determined. She epitomised the best of us and always will. All our thoughts with her family and friends. RIP Ciara.
Ciara Mageean died this morning. A light has gone out in the world. Authentic, talented, decent. Her kindness and wonderful personality was a joy to watch and see. Then came her iconic sporting achievements.
When we sat down with Ciara for the GAA Social in July, she received disappointing news the day before. Ciara didn’t want to cancel, so we recorded on the Tuesday. It’s 90 minutes Oisin & myself will always treasure. She was the best of us.
To Thomas, I’m so sorry. She was mad about you. To the Mageean family, all her great friends and the Portaferry community- what a stunning human being, to call one of your own. This is so unfair.
I’ve never met a person who met Ciara, who didn’t love her. A one off.
