Chapters Of Magnificence

2024 marked Ireland's centenary of participation at the Olympics as an independent nation, encompassing 35 medal wins. This 11 part series, comprising of freshly recorded interviews interwoven with radio archive, creates a timeless oral history of some of Ireland's most iconic sporting achievements, recounted by the protagonists themselves. The intentionally weighted use of radio archive created multiple incidents where the interviewees were hearing coverage of their success from that medium for the first time, thus creating a notable freshness to their recollections. Each episode featured a different Olympic medalist. This entry comprises the programme celebrating 1984 silver medallist John Treacy
