AT THE heart of much of the success and recognition accorded to Irish theatre in recent years has been the excellence of the performances that our actors have presented around the world, from Broadway to Beijing. Theatre, film and television have all benefited greatly from the quality of the talent that has been available here and at an international level Ireland has more than made its mark with a roll-call of actors who have brought distinction to their stage careers or achieved stardom on the screen.

IF YOU had suggested 10 years ago that within a decade Ireland would open a Six Nations Rugby Championship - not just a Five Nations, mind - by playing Italy before a packed Croke Park, you would almost certainly have been dismissed as a fantasist. Strangely, however, if the first president of the GAA, Maurice Davin, had proposed that a GAA ground be used for a 19th-century rugby international this would have been considered entirely in keeping with his character, writes John G O'Dwyer
