Modernism and Michael Cusack

100 Years On, Celebrating GAA Founder Michael Cusack

We never thought about linking sports and literature, but WGT's correspondent Danny Murphy has done an excellent job doing just that at he commemorates the centennial of the death of GAA founder Michel Cusak on our homepage. Murphy draws the analogy between Irish sport through Irish nationalism and author James Joyce's reconstruction of the English language, also through Irish nationalism of the early twentieth century.

Check out the website; for nature enthusiasts, it has some wonderful information on the Burren, the limestone landscape hosting a unique ecosystem in County Clare.

Venerable Gaelic Athletic Association founder Michael Cusack is gaining new scrutiny, in this, the centennial year of his passing. With a new website launched, next up will be an exhibit on "The Citizen" in his native Clare. WGT Munster correspondent Danny McCarthy reports on this Irishman's unique legacy to both the Gaelic Games and the Irish nation.
