Check this out. In 2010, Boden participated in 1,500 competitive games across the four codes. Given that this also involved 1,500 teams from Criostóir Ó Cuana, Úachtarán Cumann Lúthchleas Gael performs the official opening of the other clubs with an average of 20 players per squad this Sancta Maria Complex watched by Terry O’Neill, Club Chair; Cllr. Eamonn Maloney, Mayor of South Dublin; Joan O’Flynn, Úachtarán, Cumann Camógaíochta; Colin Moran and Fr. Jimmy amounts to a total of 60,000 players taking part in gaelic games Murray, O. Carm., PP, St. Colmcille’s Knocklyon playing activity involving the club. And of course don’t forget the 1,500 referees. It is a phenomenal number. Add in all the training sessions and discussions associated with each team and the impact of this voluntary activity is truly enormous. As the country faces into difficult economic times, it is heartening to see such endeavour complemented with characteristics like passion, spirit and hope. These qualities are not in short supply in Ireland and if we can harness them properly we will overcome our problems. The club itself was overcome with joy in 2010 with the marvellous four-in-a-row senior hurling titles – an achievement that places the club among the ranks of great clubs.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 01 FOREWORD I very much welcome this opportunity as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport and a local Deputy to congratulate Erin Go Bragh, CLG on the launch of their Strategic Development Plan for the period 2012 to 2016. This document sets out very challenging goals that will see the Club double in size over its lifetime. This is very achievable when one considers the rapid growth that has already taken place since the Club relocated to Clonee, Dublin 15. Over the years, sporting organisations such as Erin Go Bragh, CLG and their volunteers have formed the backbone of Sport in Ireland. I believe that we must build on this legacy to enrich our lives both as active participants and as a country which values vibrant, local community identity and the achievements of our sporting heroes. Sport also has the other well recognised benefits in terms of better physical and mental health and well being.

  • An Anthropological Exploration of the GAA As an Alternative Organisation
    Glimpsing the alternative: An anthropological exploration of the GAA as an alternative organisation By Noel Connors Submitted for the degree of PhD to the Department of Management & Organisation School of Business Waterford Institute of Technology Author Noel Connors Supervisor Dr Ray Griffin Lecturer in Strategic Management Waterford Institute of Technology Dedication You miss every one of the shots you do not take. My family inspire me to attempt every single one. i Quotes Several broken sticks, two broken heads, and two bruised fingers were part of the afternoon's play, for hurling, the Irish national game is the fastest and probably the most dangerous of sports. It is a combination of hockey, football, golf, baseball, battle and sudden death. It was a real Irish game. Daily Mail - Reporting on a match held in London (1921) The miracle of the GAA is that it works so well despite itself. Paranoia, self-doubt, trenchant conservatism, fear of outside sports and veneration of the past are all key parts of the GAA psyche. In order to love the GAA, you have to swallow these faults whole. Keith Duggan - The Irish Times (2002) ii Abstract We are told ‘There Is No Alternative’. Yet in my life I cannot see the object of my business school education, the black hole from which we cannot seem to escape - the hard-nosed, ruthlessly commercial, amoral joint stock company. Perhaps that is because I am a GAA person, surrounded by an institution since birth that has inhabited my way of thinking about organised life. My thesis sets out to explore the organisation that I am a part of, tethered too, fêted in; and to reconcile this with what I have learned in the business school.
