Fr. Thomas Looney

This interview covers issues relating to the Fr. Thomas Looney's life and also to Kerry GAA and its history. Fr Looney comes from a strong GAA family and has a keen interest in history so names, dates and connections between people are prominent throughout the interview. There is also strong emphasis placed on remembering the people who founded clubs during the late 1800s. Emigration and exile are strong themes in the interview, as Fr Looney spent some years in England and Peru. Fr Looney's knowledge is vast, and he talks about aspects of the GAA from the foundation of his local club Dr Crokes in 1886 to the organisation it has become in 2009.
