The Week on Off The Ball | Katie's Homecoming & Integration Fiasco
Welcome to the latest installment of The Week on Off The Ball, a weekly listen back at some of our favourite pieces from right across the week that was. Eoin Sheahan was on hand after a week where Katie Taylor had her glorious Croke Park homecoming, and Gaelic games came under a harsh spotlight as the prospect of integration is not progressing as planned. On the former, we had the great pleasure of welcoming Katie's manager, Brian Peters, on to explain how the Croke Park finale came about, and what it all meant to him. Meanwhile, her coach, Ross Enamait, also joined us to share his thoughts on the night, while Irish boxing heavyweight Thomas Carty came into studio for a sobering look at a weekend that didn't go at all as he had planned. After news of Dr. Mary McAleese's decision to step down from her role as chairperson of the Integration Committee, Tom Parsons (GPA CEO), Maria Kinsella (Ex-GPA co-chair), Sinead O'Carroll (The Journal) and Conor Meyler shared their expertise on what had gone wrong, why all is not as it might seem, and how integration can be put back on track.
