It’s All-Ireland hurling final week. I’ve loved hurling my whole life. But I’d never played it. Until last year, when. I moved to Waterford. I joined my dad’s club, Old Parish. I tried to understand by doing. And I wrote a book. Pre-order it from today

Old Parish is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s a part of Gaeltacht na nDéise, and is a community rich in history, music and gaeilge. It was a privilege to walk in the footsteps of “mo shinsir” ❤️🤍.

The book is about a 42-year old man humiliating himself for the amusement of his readers. But it's also about why I wasn't given the chance to play the game by the quirks of geography, and why that's the story for hundreds of thousands of Irish people
