| Publisher Description: How many of us ever take the time to think about the history of Ireland's sporting sites? This book urges us to do just that. The text explores the spaces where oridinary people have congregated and community identities have been formed, why sporting sites are located in particular places, and much more. Mike Cronin, academic director of Boston College - Ireland, has written widely on Irish history, including The Blueshirts and Irish Politics (1997), Sport and Nationalism in Ireland (1999), and with Mark Duncan and Paul Rouse, The GAA - A People's History (2009).
