Pobail na Páirce, a four-part series for TG4, tells the stories of Ireland's most iconic and revered provincial GAA grounds. Spending a day in the life of historic stadiums across the four provinces of Ireland on their biggest matchdays of the year, this series reveals the incredible logistics required to make GAA matches happen, the history of these magnificent amphitheaters, and the importance of these places in our lives, today. Over four weeks Pobail na Páirce journeys across the country, pulling back the curtain on these homes of GAA to explore how these sports grounds are so much more than bricks and mortar; they have become the beating heart of our provinces. From the birthplace of GAA in Thurles' Semple Stadium for the Munster Hurling Final, to the historic site for women's sport in Navan's Páirc Tailteann as the Meath ladies football team clash with Dublin. And from the home of the Ulster Final in Clones' St Tiarnachs Park during the fierce Ulster Championship to the beating heart of Galway GAA in Pearse Stadium for the Senior Club Hurling Final.
