Hello all,Thanks Philip for the introduction.
I have indeed been fortunate enough to get funding to make an RTÉ Radio 1 documentary that will feature the final leg of the Scandinavian Championships in Malmö this weekend so look forward to meeting some/all of you there.
The documentary, A Silver Lining, will primarily be a look at how the ongoing recession in Ireland has affected the GAA abroad, as told through the eyes of the Stockholm Gaels in particular. For instance, many argue that the devastation caused at club and county level here in Ireland by emigration has actually benefitted foreign clubs so assessing this will be high on my agenda. I'll also be interested to see the role these clubs play in assimilating both new arrivals and the local native communities.
Saturday sounds like it should be a blast, whatever the outcome on the pitch.
If in the meantime any of you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
PS. No, sadly I won't have any room for crisps, tea bags or rashers. :)
Cheers.
Pat
