PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Damian Lawlor is a best-selling author and sports broadcaster with RTE. He comes from Kilruane in County Tipperary and lives with his family in Naas, County Kildare. This is his seventh book.
A terrific idea brought to beautifully intimate colour, exploring an extraordinary time in all our lives through the power of the GAA community. An absolute triumph. * Vincent Hogan, sports reporter, Irish Independent * A brilliant read. The stories in this book are a catalogue of resilience and the capacity of people to find ways to make the best of everything. Damian Lawlor uses his unparalleled network of connections across the GAA to document its Covid experience from new and fascinating perspectives. From extraordinary acts of kindness and decency to the pain of loss, this book tells vivid tales of how GAA members lived through a brutal pandemic. * Paul Rouse, Professor of History, UCD * Through compelling stories and varied perspectives, Lawlor uses his in-depth knowledge of the GAA at all levels to make real the impact of the pandemic on people, families and communities. He captures the human scale of its challenge and the impressive response of players, members, volunteers, clubs and the GAA leadership. The result is a rich, valuable and uniquely Irish account of this global health emergency. * Dr Tony Holohan, Former Chief Medical Officer of Ireland *
