Programme Plus – Vol PROGRAMME PLUS – VOL. 1, NUMBER 12, JANUARY 8th, 2017 Happy new year to all in the collecting community, and here’s the latest edition of ‘Programme Plus’ to whet the appetites of enthusiasts for the year ahead. I hope everyone enjoyed the festive period and got a chance to relax and perhaps catch up on various aspects of our hobby. For some it might have been a case of putting the feet up and reading a lot of material accumulated over the year. Others may have availed of the break to tidy up their collection and put it in some sort of order. As for me, I like getting out on the road in the lead-up to Christmas and filling gaps as I go. I was on an extended holiday from work since December 12th, something I’ve done for a few years now in order to get a decent break and re-charge the batteries. I made a list of the various new books on the market and set about tracking them down. Before I elaborate, I should point out that many of you will read the piece to follow and think: ‘why didn’t he just ring me, I could have got that for him and saved him the journey?’ Well, firstly I happen to enjoy driving and don’t mind clocking up the miles. I love the size of our great little country, the fact that I can wake up in Wexford on any given morning, travel to any destination, and return home before midnight if I so desire. Secondly, I really enjoy the thrill of the chase when it comes to collecting, and I’m sure this will resonate with many readers. There’s nothing more fulfilling than seeking a book or a programme, and then crossing it off the wants list when it’s located. I made five journeys in all last month, so here are the details without further ado: THE CHRISTMAS ADVENTURES OF A COLLECTOR Thursday, December 15th (THE TRIP TO TIPP): The decision to stage the inter-provincial hurling final on a Thursday night didn’t go down well in certain circles, but it suited me just fine. I reckoned it was the ideal day for me to target Tipperary and their various club history books published recently. The first port of call in my trip though was Ned Quinn’s supermarket in Mooncoin where I purchased the Kilkenny GAA Yearbook 2016 (208 pages plus cover, €10). Normally I would head on to Kilsheelan Post Office, the first selling point over the border for the Tipperary equivalent, buy it there and return home, all done and dusted in the space of one morning. However, on this occasion my plans centred on being in Semple Stadium for the Munster v. Leinster game that evening, so I had eight hours to fill. After leaving Mooncoin, I decided to take a stroll around Clonmel as I was passing through it one way or the other. Joe Lonergan had kindly offered to get the St. Mary’s (Clonmel) history for me when we met at the programme fair, but I resolved to try to find it myself and save him the bother. I’ve learned a couple of things down through the years in relation to club histories. Firstly, it’s important to strike while the iron is hot so to speak, because some books can be difficult to obtain if you don’t buy them in the immediate weeks or months after their publication. Secondly, some clubs are so focused on getting the book out that they don’t put enough thought into distribution. Often times the main bookshop in the nearest town won’t even stock the book, as clubs don’t like the idea of having to give them a cut from every sale, often as high as 30%. The ideal scenario of course for a club is to sell their wares in a shop that won’t take a commission. The other side of the coin is that, if it’s not available in the main town bookshops, then the chances of making random, unexpected sales to people without connections to the club are remote. I didn’t dwell too long in Clonmel as I knew Joe had this one covered anyway, but for the record that St. Mary’s book wasn’t available in Eason’s. It was the only ‘failure’ in my quest that particular day, but Joe has made contact since to say that he has one safe and sound for me. After Clonmel I moved on to Thurles and made my way to Lár na Páirce. Any collector who has visited there before will be familiar with that alcove on the ground floor housing a range of G.A.A. books of local and national interest. I was on the look-out for three histories: Kiladangan, Kilruane MacDonaghs and Portroe. I must confess to being surprised that none were available in Lár na Páirce, as I would have assumed that every Tipperary club publishing a history would ensure it was stocked here. That wasn’t the case though, so I had to be content with buying the Tipperary GAA Yearbook 2017 (224 pages plus cover, €10). As an aside, the naming convention for yearbooks is interesting, with some opting to highlight the year under review on the cover, and others choosing the following year to increase the shelf life. I also picked up some free autographed Tipperary hurling posters before leaving Lár na Páirce, and it was also interesting to note that free copies of Jim Fogarty’s book on the All-Ireland Under-21 hurling championship were available with every purchase. Some collectors put no limits on what they accumulate, but I draw the line at calendars. As a result, I left the Tipperary calendar on the shelf, and I had done likewise with the Kilkenny one in Ned Quinn’s. Waterford also restricted their end-of-year publications to a calendar to the best of my knowledge. Joe Lonergan had mentioned to me earlier in the year that the Kiladangan history was on sale in the ‘Bookworm’ shop in Thurles, so that’s where I headed next. Sure enough, it was there on the shelves, but the two remaining copies were a little too well thumbed for my liking. I decided there and then to try to get a better copy elsewhere, knowing that if I failed I could always return to ‘Bookworm’ - the day was still relatively young! The next phase of the journey took me to Nenagh, and the first port of call was Eason’s. And there they were, a good-as-new pile of Kiladangan GAA Club - A Centenary History, by Danny Grace and Seamus Hogan (400 pages plus paperback cover, €20). From there I took a swift trip around a corner and down a sidestreet to the Nenagh Bookshop where the one copy on display of Kilruane MacDonaghs 1970-2013 - Heirs To A Proud Tradition, by Gilbert (Gilly) Williams (548 pages plus hardback cover, €30) was added to my list of purchases. The day was going well, but I still had the Portroe history on my list and I couldn’t find it in Nenagh. Only one thing for it so: back in the car and out the road to the village put on the map by the Sheedys and Darren Gleeson among others. I can vouch for the fact that, as the sub-heading of the book states, it is indeed located ‘Betwixt The Arras and Lough Derg’. The sole shop that I could see in the village had the books on the counter, so I was very happy to add A History Of Gaelic Games In Portroe 1884-2015, by Seamus J. King (600 pages plus paperback cover, €20) to my list. With my car weighed down at this stage by three Tipperary club histories and two yearbooks, I headed back to Thurles to stretch the legs and then watch a quite entertaining inter-provincial hurling final. As for the eight-page programme for €2, it reflected the complete apathy shown towards the much-maligned competition. A little note on the centrespread explained that the line-outs printed were from the semi-finals on the previous weekend, and this was fair enough given the short space between Sunday and Thursday. However, what was unacceptable was the fact that Offaly goalkeeper James Dempsey had his surname listed as ‘Dooley’, while Munster substitute Cian Lynch was credited with being from Clare. If these errors appeared in the semi-final programmes, was there nobody capable of spotting them and ensuring they were corrected? The other thing that got on my wick was the full page devoted to the Semple Stadium safety regulations. If the G.A.A. insisted to the publishers that this must be used, then they were taking the mickey given the crowd of 592. This is health and safety gone mad in my view, and surely a distinction should be made between the days of 20,000-plus crowds, when it’s important to list the regulations, and nights like this when I had practically a full section of the new stand in Thurles all to myself. On the other hand, if it was DBA simply filling a page for the sake of it, they should be admonished for lack of effort. Either way, I found it farcical to be honest, although why quibble as it had been a good day of collecting? One road trip down, and I had a taste for it now: four to go! Saturday, December 17th (THE WEST’S AWAKE): There’s another aspect to the G.A.A.

  • Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance Leaflet On
    Camogie Association & GAA Information and Guidance leaflet on the National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 March 2015 1 National Vetting Bureau (Children & Vulnerable Persons) Act The National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012 is the vetting legislation passed by the Houses of the Oireachtas in December 2012. This legislation is part of a suite of complementary legislative proposals to strengthen child protection policies and practices in Ireland. Once the ‘Vetting Bureau Act’ commences the law on vetting becomes formal and obligatory and all organisations and their volunteers or staff who with children and vulnerable adults will be legally obliged to have their personnel vetted. Such personnel must be vetted prior to the commencement of their work with their Association or Sports body. It is important to note that prior to the Act commencing that the Associations’ policy stated that all persons who in a role of responsibility work on our behalf with children and vulnerable adults has to be vetted. This applies to those who work with underage players. (The term ‘underage’ applies to any player who is under 18 yrs of age, regardless of what team with which they play). The introduction of compulsory vetting, on an All-Ireland scale through legislation, merely formalises our previous policies and practices. 1 When will the Act commence or come into operation? The Act is effectively agreed in law but has to be ‘commenced’ by the Minister for Justice and Equality who decides with his Departmental colleagues when best to commence all or parts of the legislation at any given time.
