A St Patrick's Day hurling match in Belgium.
Éamon Ó Muirí reports on a hurling match played in Belgium on St Patrick's Day 1979. The growing Irish community in Brussels have founded their own GAA club and play at the rugby club in Waterloo. Today's match is against the Aer Lingus hurling team.
Deireann cathaoirleach Myles McSweeney go bhfuil deis acu imirt gach seachtain sa chlub rugbaí. Bunaíodh an club trí no ceithre bhliain ó shin, nuair a thosaigh sé féin agus cúpla duine eile ag imirt le chéile. Bhi siad i nGeirsí an bhliain seo caite, agus chuaigh siad go dtí an Róimh chun peil a imirt.

| Information: | The bilingual current affairs series Féach reported on national and international events and was broadcast from 1967 to 1984. Féach was aired every Sunday evening and featured reports in both Irish and English. The Irish word "Féach" meaning "Look" gives an indication of what the programme was about as editor John Ross stated "It will try to show, from a fresh viewpoint, what is happening at home and abroad each week". (RTÉ Guide, 14 July 1967, p.17) The show was originally anchored by Andy O'Mahony with reporting assistance from Seán Duignan and Mícheál Ó Briain. |
