Eoghan Corry is a columnist, prolific author, mainly of sports history, and founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association Museum at Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland. Born in Dublin on January 19 1961 he grew up in Ardclough, Straffan, Co Kildare, Ireland. He was educated at Scoil Mhuire, Clane, Dublin Institute of Technology and University College, Dublin. His first published work as poetry in English and the Irish language in literary magazines and the New Irish Writing section of the Irish Press. He began his journalistic career as a sportswriter with the Irish Times and Sunday Tribune where he won several awards and became sports editor. Determined to pursue a career outside of sports journalism, he joined the Sunday Press as a feature writer in 1985 and became features editor of the Irish Press in 1986, bringing younger writers and a more contemporary, polemical and literary style to the paper. He revived the literary and travel sections of the paper and was an adjudicator of the Dublin Theatre Festival awards. When the Irish Press closed in 1995 he became Features Editor of the short-lived Evening News, storylined the GAA museum in Croke Park in 1998 and was founding editor of High Ball magazine. Since then he has been a columnist, first with the Sunday Business Post and then with the Evening Herald. Since 2002 he has edited Ireland's biggest circulation travel publication, Travel Extra and is a regular commentator on travel affairs on Irish radio and television. He is married to Ida Milne and has two daughters, Constance (b1991) and Síofra (b1995).
