Profile of hurley maker emerges victorious as judges blown away by standard of entries in video competition
A video project entitled “It's time Ireland recognised the artistic and cultural merit of hurley makers like Willie Bulfin” has earned Emil Trahan, a MA in Journalism student at the University of Limerick, top prize in the 2019 Irish Examiner / University of Limerick video journalism competition.
His heart warming piece focused on the story of master craftsman Willie Bulfin and his two sons who, for 20 years, have handcrafted hurleys which have been used all around Ireland.
