The GAA Social Folgen

Rory O'Carroll is different. 5 x All-Ireland titles with Dublin- but decided to leave the most successful team of all time and go travelling. Life is too short. That journey brought him working in a women’s prison in New Zealand, learning new languages and a new perspective. Following your dreams. Rory has won two All-Ireland football titles with Kilmacud Crokes and was playing in the infamous Glen final earlier this year- should it have been replayed? Rory gives his answer.In 2013, Rory was visibly concussed while playing Mayo. The final 10 minutes was a haze. What was that experience like and what are the learnings? All-stars, International Rules, All-Ireland titles with club and county- but success doesn't define him- or come close. Rory is a Social worker, involved with the Travelling community, children and working in prisons. It's a challenging job- but he loves what he does. It's a facinating insight into a challenging career that Rory was born to do.Cut from different cloth, with a unique outlook on life- it's the brilliant Rory O'Carroll on the GAA Social.

What a draw, Dublin against Mayo and Cork V Derry as a double header. That's all after Tyrone against Kerry and an Ulster derby Armagh V Monaghan. Life is great

Neil McManus on the GAA Social has announced his retirement from inter-county hurling. What a career. 2007 he made his debut with Antrim, he'll continue to wear the maroon of Cushendall. But there's so much more. His love of the sport, how he describes hurling, its future and the rural depopulation that's hitting the Glens of Antrim. But there's a plan- and McManus is leading! His father was evicted from his Belfast home when the troubles started- but instilled a community feel that's vibrant today in Cushendall. It's an incredible insight into one of the greats.
