Con Houlihan is one of Ireland’s most distinguished sports journalists. For decades, he has captivated readers with his unique perspective and clarity. This ‘Arts Lives’ documentary traces Con’s life, as teacher, fisherman, turf cutter and rugby player to the pinnacle of sports writing with The Evening Press in Dublin. Filmed almost entirely in Castleisland and its environs; it reveals a man who is as much in love with literature as he is with sport.
