No. The GAA is a sporting organisation. As it promotes Irish sport, it is seen as part of the wider nationalist sphere of Irishness, but that does not mean it is involved in terrorism and as stated, it is a sporting organisation, the largest amateur sporting organisation in the world.

The All-Ireland Hurling Final for the 1887 championship was played in on the 1st of April 1888. On the 29th of April 1888 the All-Ireland Senior Football final, also for the 1887 championship was played. They were the first finals for each of the two sports. It was not unusual in the early years of the All-Ireland championships for the finals of a particular year, not to be played until after that calendar year was finished.

A question like that is very hard to answer. Even the greatest experts would disagree. It is also hard to compare teams that played in different eras, because different people saw them play and the nature of the game has changed. All people can really do is judge the teams they have actually seen. The Kilkenny display last September would have to be one of if not the most complete displays in an All-Ireland final ever seen. They are certainly up there amongst the greatest teams ever, but it is very difficult to say that they are the best ever.

Hurling is the fastest field game in the world. So to play the game at a high level, you have to be very fit. You have to be very strong. You have to be very fast. You have to have good hand-eye co-ordination, good balance and be able to carry out a wide range of skills. All this takes time and practice. So a player gets a lot of exercise and looks after their diet and weight and keep in a healthy condition. So Hurling is a game that can help keep people very healthy, whether played at the top level, or even at a lower level.

A terrace ticket will be €35. A stand ticket will be €70. Premium level and corporate level tickets will be higher. For All-Ireland Finals tickets are not sold to the general public in the way they are for all other matches. Tickets are distributed through the county boards and clubs, so they are always very difficult to get, even for people who have contacts in the GAA.

The Red Hand of Ulster is synonymous with Ulster. It comes from the legend of Dermot and O'Neill and their race for Ulster. After a long horse race they reached a river. Dermot led. It had been agreed that the winner would be the one whose hand first touched Ulster. Dermot brought his horse into the river and began swimming to the other side. O'Neill stopped at the riverbank, cut off his right hand. It fell, drenched in blood. He then picked it up and threw it across the river. It touched the other side before Dermot's did. That is the origin of the Red Hand of Ulster.

The Castle and Round Tower were symbols of Ancient Celtic and Irish tradition in County Antrim.

That is difficult to answer. Gaelic Football and Hurling are Ireland's two national sports. The senior All-Ireland finals in both sports are the two biggest sporting events in Ireland. Between radio and television, the total interest would be in millions. Throughout the year there are all sorts of smaller matches, right down to children's games which people would attend. There are over 2500 GAA clubs in Ireland, each with lots of teams and some of them with a very large amount of teams. So when you take this all into consideration, going from the lowest levels to the highest levels, it would be hard to know how many people go to matches or at least watch them on TV or listen to them on radio, but it does run into millions.

As an example, the GAA has recently released the attendance figures for the 2009 Hurling and Football Championships. The combined total attendance figures for the two championships was 1,523,000. Naturally that would count the same person going to more than one match, so actual individual people going would be less than that. However that is only for the two championship competitions, and while a lot of the same people would be going to other competitions and to all levels of games, there would be people who wouldn't go to championship games. A lot of people would watch on TV too.

For the 2009 Hurling Championship All-Ireland final, there was a 68% TV audience share in Ireland. An average audience of 771,000 people watched the match and the audience peaked at 912,000, in the dying minutes of the match. That is just the figures from within Ireland. All around the world Irish people and others, would be watching the final on TV. So the real numbers would run into millions of people. On top of that you would have radio listeners in Ireland and worldwide and people getting it through the internet. So that would make those watching or listening to it huge.

For the majority of players, it is the county that they are born and live in. Players themselves don't choose to play for a county as such. Players usually play for their local club. Each county has many clubs. The best players in those clubs are chosen to play for the county team by the selectors for the county teams. So the majority of players end up playing for their own county. Even if a player moves to live in another county, they will normally still want to play for their own county. It is a matter of pride and identity, in the same way that many sports people will want to compete on the national team of their own country, if they are selected to do so. They will do their best to get to the level to be able to be chosen. GAA players are the same. They want to play for their the county that they come from.
