Laochrá Gael is set to return to TV screen on Thursday, January 23, with Tipperary hurling legend Pádraic Maher being the focus of the first episode.
The series opens with Pádraic Maher, one of Tipperary’s greatest-ever hurlers and one of the most dominant centre backs of the game.
Born into the Maher dynasty steeped in hurling both with Thurles Sarsfields & Tipperary, remembered as a force in the GAA generation that raised the bar.
His presence, leadership and strength on the field meant he was always destined for greatness.
Hurling was his whole identity, it consumed him, things suffered because of hurling, he knew nothing else.
Until it came to a dramatic close, due to a neck injury, Pádraic was forced to retire from the game he loved, and he found it difficult to come to terms with.
The episode features contributions from Brendan Maher, Ronan Maher, Michael Fennelly, Vincent Hogan, Seamus Kennedy, Donal O’Grady, Paul Rouse, Ken McGrath, Seamus Callinan, Helen Maher, and Claire Gaynor.
