What ground has almost broken the Gaelic Athletic Association — twice? In this episode of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara tell the dramatic story of Páirc Uí Chaoimh, a stadium whose ambition, scale and cost brought the GAA to the brink on more than one occasion. From its original development to the financial turmoil surrounding its modern redevelopment, the lads explore how one iconic ground became the centre of some of the Association’s biggest risks, deepest controversies and most anxious moments.For those who want more Gaelic Games History, you can join our Cairde Club for less than the price of a match programme for month - where you'll get exclusive episodes, bonus content, ad free and early release versions of the main podcast.
