🎙️ Episode Title: How a GAA Crest Leads Us to the Battle of Fontenoy

In this episode of Undercover Irish, we follow the trail of a symbol — from the familiar GAA crest of Limerick to the Treaty Stone on the banks of the Shannon, and further still to the cry that echoed through the fields of Fontenoy in 1745: "Cuimhnigh ar Luimneach! Remember Limerick!"

What begins as a look at a sporting logo becomes a journey through Irish memory, resilience, and identity — how the imagery on a GAA crest carries centuries of history, from the Treaty of Limerick to the Irish Brigades fighting for France, and how those echoes still find their way into our stadiums and stories today.

🟩 Topics include:

The hidden meanings behind GAA county crests
The symbolism of the Treaty Stone and Limerick's heritage
The Irish Brigades and the Battle of Fontenoy
Why "Cuimhnigh ar Luimneach" still resonates in modern Irish identity

🎧 Whether you're a GAA fan, a history nerd, or someone curious about how sport keeps the past alive, this episode is for you.
