Description
Today we launch a new podcast, The 42FM with Gavin Cooney and Sinéad O’Carroll. Building on the success of Olympics Daily with Cooney & O’Carroll, The 42FM will zoom out on the biggest sports story of the week, bringing the wider context and issues into play. Here, Sinéad and Gavin analyse and debate whether it is right that Limerick’s decorated wing-back Kyle Hayes was nominated as Hurler of the Year - in a year where he faced charges which could have led to him being jailed. Is it reasonable to expect GAA players to be role models? Should GAA leaders act as character witnesses in court? Has John Kiely adequately addressed questions around this case and the culture of this Limerick team? Who has spoken up for the victim of the crime, in the way John Kiely has spoken up for Kyle Hayes? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
