2011 Asian Gaelic Games – Suwon, October 15-16, 2011.
Part I.
Christy Cooney told the crowded hotel’s function room that when you go to the airport in Sydney you can tell exactly where every Irish person there is from by the county colours they are wearing proudly on their chests. This he said was a testament to the role of the GAA in Irish people’s identity when they are forced to emigrate to. But when he said this, Christy Cooney was nowhere near Sydney; he was in fact, a little over 8,000 kilometres away from there, about the same distance as it would be to fly half-way from Dublin to Sydney, in the main hall of convention centre attached to the Ibis Hotel in Suwon, South Korea. Regardless, his comments were not out of place.
