Jacqui Hurley always has a new project up her sleeve, whether it's teaching sports journalism at the University of Limerick, coaching the u16 Irish women's basketball team, or, more recently, launching her second children's book.

Girls Play Too 2 is the follow-up to the Cork native's first collection of stories on Ireland's top sportswomen. It’s been a project close to the broadcaster's heart, originally inspired by her own childhood hero.
