<p><b>A fundamental tenet of the GAA is under threat in a manner that has not happened in its 140-year history.</b> <br><br>For generations, the GAA club has been the beating heart of Irish communities - rooted in the parish, sustained by volunteers and inseparable from identity.
But today, that foundation is under threat.<br><br>In this deeply personal and sharply observed memoir, journalist Mick Clifford traces the seismic shifts that have brought the GAA to a crossroads. From his childhood in football-mad Iveragh to three decades in Dublin - where he mentored his son's team and witnessed the sport's urban transformation - Clifford explores the widening gap between tradition and modernity.<br><br>Blending reportage, interviews and historical insight with a lightness of touch, he examines the forces reshaping the club system and asks: what must be done to preserve the soul of the GAA?<br><br>This is a story of memory, belonging and the future of a movement that has always been more than just sport.</p>
