Oliver McVeigh. Sports photographer & searching for my brother

A lifetime in photography & searching for Columba

Oliver McVeigh is known across the land. More than 40 years in sports photography and likely to turn up at any GAA event. The legendry 'Season of Sundays' annual is filled with his craft throughout the years. In this podcast, Oliver picks his favourite photos and explains why. Mugsy's arse, Henry Shefflin, the photo that led to the biggest ban in rugby and then there's the changing room shot. Joy that looks like sorrow. Halfway through, this podcast takes a different turn. Columba McVeigh is one of the 'disappeared' killed and secretly buried by the IRA. Columba, is the brother of Oliver. New year brings new hope and in the past few weeks, a significant new development. A lifelong promise to his mother and a determination to bring his brother home. This is the story of Oliver McVeigh. A brilliant podcast.
