Study commends GAA's reaction to first lockdown

A new academic study has commended the role of the GAA and sports media in helping and reflecting the country’s response to the initial Covid-19 lockdown last year.

Written by NUI Galway’s Dr Seán Crosson and Mary Immaculate College’s Dr Marcus Free, “‘This Too Shall Pass’: Gaelic Games, Irish Media, and the Covid-19 Lockdown in Ireland”, praises the sports organisation and the likes of RTÉ for cultivating a collective conscience in the period from March to May 2020.
