Dublin Talking

For years, sport has played a huge part in shaping the fabric of our city, from the parish GAA club to the local football fields or the canvas of a boxing ring.It's something that can and has brought communities together across Dublin through the highs and lows, and the wins and the losses. It's something that can bring out the best in us, but for some, it's a bit more difficult to take part and experience some of the joy that's on offer.This week, we took a look at some of the initiatives and clubs across Dublin that have created an inclusive space for people from all walks of life.  Hosted on Acast.

For years, Dublin's inner city has been key in helping to put our city on the map. From arts and music to culture and sports, Dublin has been represented by stars such as Kellie Harrington, Barry Keoghan and Séan O'Casey.
