This Sunday, the Seachtain Na Rásaí series finale goes to air on TG4.

The four-part series looks at the history and tradition of the Galway Races, and tonight on Off The Ball director Luke McManus joined us in studio to chat about the Races.

McManus explains why he thinks the festival dominates the national psyche and shares some interesting facts and anecdotes from the Races including his interview with President Michael D Higgins who is passionate about the festival.
