The line-up for the 24th season of TG4's Laochra Gael has been announced.

Monaghan football legend Conor McManus will be the focus of the first programme in the eight-part series which returns to our screens next Thursday evening, January 22. The other GAA greats who will feature in the upcoming series are Cyril Farrell (Galway), Grace Walsh (Kilkenny), Marty Clarke (Down), Pádraig Horan (Offaly), Neil McManus (Antrim), Louise Ní Mhuircheartaigh (Kerry) and Kevin McManamon (Dublin).

Ahead of the new series, GAA president Jarlath Burns said: “Laochra Gael has become a mainstay on the GAA broadcasting landscape – a series that is eagerly awaited by those who play and support our games.

"Who could have imagined when the concept was first hatched that it would carve out such a special niche for itself, bringing the stories behind the games and the players to life in such a vivid and engaging way.

"If anything, the offerings in recent years have gone from strength to strength and it is testimony to Nemeton and TG4 and their love of our games and our language that the series continues to thrive. I wish them continued success and look forward to the latest instalments," he added.
