Eamonn Sweeney

Eamonn Sweeney was born in 1968 in the nearly hurling-free county of Sligo - a deficiency remedied by his hurling-mad father from Kilkenny. He has written on GAA for the Irish Examiner for a number of years and is the author of two novels, THE PHOTOGRAPH and WAITING FOR THE HEALER, a book on soccer, THERE'S ONLY ONE RED ARMY, and a play BRUEN'S TWIST. Eamonn lives in Cork and regularly broadcasts on RTE radio and television on a wide variety of topics. Sport, however, remains his first love.
