On St Patrick's Day 2020, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced that Ireland was locking down. The coronavirus pandemic had arrived. As Croke Park and other major stadia transformed into testing centres, 20,000 volunteers helped 35,000 vulnerable people with essential deliveries.
Klappentext:
Over the years, the GAA and its people have weathered many storms. But whenever there's a threat, this is when the GAA comes together to look after their own.
AFTER THE STORM: How the GAA Found New Hope tells the story of the biggest and most recent threat we have faced, a global pandemic, and how the people of the GAA coped with a situation never seen before. These are stories of resilience and courage in the face of unknown odds, people helping each other as never before, and tales of loss, hope and the will to fight another day.
Above all, this is the story of the life-and-death struggle for survival of the GAA and its people, and the incredible way they rallied and found new hope for the future.
