WikiProject Gaelic Games?
This article has been added to WikiProject Gaelic Games with the edit summary "Adding per user request". Peter O'Connor was an athlete, who competed for the Gaelic Athletic Association when that association was largely concerned with athletics. He did not play Gaelic Games - football, hurling or handball. Scolaire (talk) 11:54, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Team Controversy
"Ireland did not have an Olympic Committee, and the British Olympic Council claimed the three. On registering for the Games, O'Connor and his fellow-athletes found that they were listed as Great Britain, not Irish, team members" - I wonder why they took part if they were so offended? Was it compulsory? Querying that point has my BS radar on full alert. Did O'C really scale the flagpole? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.139.189 (talk) 22:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

A second point, I think the UK included Ireland at that time, so I guess Scotland also didn't have an Olympic Committee. Would that be right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.139.189 (talk) 22:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Peter O'Connor did scale the flagpole. here are a handful of references. As to your other questions, I don't see that they have any relevance to the article. Scolaire (talk) 20:29, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
