Places We Play complied by Mike Cronin & Roisin Higgins

November 5, 2024 By P Commane

The full title of the book is Places We Play – Ireland’s Sporting Heritage.

From national stadia to local pitches, from exclusive golf courses to derelict lots of former sporting glory.  This book explores the history of Ireland’s sporting sites. The spaces where ordinary people have congregated and community identities have been formed. Why sporting sites are located in particular places and how they have changed over time.  It also explores what kinds of men and women have gathered together in these venues to compete, spectate, or place a bet.

Tracing the history of sport in modern Ireland, the authors explain the impact of railways, landed wealth, local people and national politics on the development of the sporting landscape.
