The above events follow on from last week’s successful evening at Dalymount Park where there was a screening of the Copa 71 – Football is for the 99% documentary, which tells the story of a World Cup played in Mexico in front of hundreds of thousands of fans, but soon belittled, hidden, and forgotten about for decades.
The screening was followed by a panel discussion with Gavin Jennings (RTÉ’s Morning Ireland), Linda Gorman (former player and manager, Irish national team), Rachael Kelly (captain, Bohemians), Gerry Farrell (historian).
