Féile 'one of the great things the GAA came up with'

‘It’s one of the great things the GAA came up with’

Back in 2011, when the economy was mired in a tailspin and Irish society was in the grip of a crisis so profound that its very foundations appeared to be crumbling, Peter Keogh sat down in his home in Kiltegan in Co. Wicklow and gave an interview to Regina Fitzpatrick, a researcher with the GAA’s Oral History Project.

That project, unique in scale and content across the global world of sport, is now held at the GAA Museum and is available online. It comprises some 1,300 recorded interviews, 4,000 questionnaires, and more than 70,000 letters, documents, and photographs relating to the GAA.
