~1,426

~1,426 examines the tensions and divisions of the Irish Civil War and how the Gaelic Athletic Association’s efforts to restore unity reflect the broader national struggle for reconciliation in its aftermath.

Rooted deeply in Irish identity, the GAA fosters a powerful sense of belonging, of people and parish, that stands in sharp contrast to the divisions of the Civil War. Through sport, it offered not just community but a quiet resistance to division.

The cover lists all recorded military casualties. A tilde opens this list, to acknowledge both the unknown and the unrecorded, particularly the civilian lives lost but never officially counted.
