Enemy of the Crown

A poignant and introspective memoir from Irish journalist and broadcaster Charlie Bird.

Finucane is a love story crossing borders and decades: the story of two people who ‘made a pact for madness’.

The Gaelic Athletic Association is a huge part of the Irish consciousness and plays an influential role in Irish society that extends far beyond the sports. In popular imagination and experience, the GAA is often evoked in terms of its objects: medals passed down from generation to generation, jerseys worn in All Ireland finals, Michael Cusack’s blackthorn stick, a pair of glasses damaged during the events of Bloody Sunday.
