Declan talks us through the lives he led before breaking into journalism, and then how he earned his break.
We talk about Ulster football: what drives the rivalries, and what makes the competition so fierce?
We talk about the biggest controversy of his career, when Jim McGuinness kicked him out of his press conference after the 2012 All Ireland final victory, in the aftermath of writing a book with which Kevin Cassidy collaborated. Why did McGuinness do what he did? What’s their relationship like now? And did he feel any guilt on behalf of Cassidy, who was dropped from the Donegal panel before they won the All-Ireland?
