Ciarán Murphy on why hurling and the Irish language have a similar struggle

The Irish language and hurling should be accessible and a source of joy to many. Has this always been the case? Is it even the case now? Or are they ring-fenced? What could happen if the language and game of hurling were not restricted to certain environments. These are some of the questions tackled by Ciarán Murphy of the Second Captains in his new book, Old Parish, where he takes up hurling in his early 40s.
