It has been a whole year since Joe Caslin created one of the most beautiful emblems of the marriage equality referendum with his mural on George’s St in Dublin.

33-year-old Cork GAA icon Valerie Mulcahy is to retire from inter-county football today. She told journalist Mary White  that the time was right for her to call time on her illustrious decade-long career in ladies football. “My motivation isn’t where it used to be, and I knew going into last year’s All-Ireland final that it […]
