It will also address how such symbols relate to the cult of Irish Republican martyrdom and Catholicism.

On Sport and Society

The sale of David Beckham by Manchester United to Real Madrid must be the highest profile transnational sports transfer since Wayne Gretzky was shipped out of Edmonton to Los Angeles.
