The second episode of Series 3 of the Irish Courts Podcast, Sport and the Law, is now available to listen to on Podbean.
Sport is built on rules, fair play and competition, but the law also plays an important role behind the scenes. In this episode, Professor Paul Rouse of University College Dublin, County Registrar Aoife Farrelly and Louise Reilly SC explore how law has shaped and governed sport, from early Irish legal traditions to modern sporting disputes and international arbitration.
From GAA disciplinary hearings and match-fixing investigations to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the discussion examines how legal principles help protect the integrity of sport at every level.
