Chairman’s Address At the 2015 AGM of St. Patricks GAA Club, Dromahair, it was ‘proposed’ and ‘seconded’ that a Club Development Pan would be formalised, which would provide a cornerstone for the progressive growth of the Club, over the next 5 years. The Plan, which is now presented herewith, has been a work in progress for the past 18 months and is based on five key activity areas: Coaching and Games Development; Club Structures and Administration; Finance and Fundraising; Facilities and Development; and, Communication, Public Relations and Culture. There are a range of Objectives and Key Performance Indicators set out in these key activity areas, which we hope will help us as a club, to harness, grow and maintain the interest of our current club members and the wider community, young and old alike. The plan has been formulated following significant work undertaken in the background, by a number of people, particularly those on the specially formed ‘Club Development Plan’ committee. The work has involved numerous collective meetings, a workshop where former club officers were invited to provide their opinion, meetings between individuals who worked on various key activity areas, research into practices elsewhere within the country, a specially formulated community questionnaire and finally the drafting and editing of the final document. I thank everyone who contributed to every aspect of the Plan; in particular, I extend thanks to Gavin Sweeney, our Club Development Officer and to Angela McLaughlin who have both led the process throughout. The publication of the Plan is timely, insofar as it coincides with the great work of the Dromahair Arts and Recreation Centre (DARC) committee and the development of community all weather playing facilities in Dromahair. These facilities together with this plan, provides an opportunity for St. Patrick’s GAA Club to grow and increase participation in both Gaelic games and culture for all the people in our area. The past members have served and enabled the club to stabilise and grow. The onus is on the future club administrators and members to ensure that St Patrick’s GAA Club Dromahair continues to be a force for good in the community. What happens over the next decade will depend on the vision and drive of everyone in the

  • “Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy Is One of Ireland’S Top Entertainers with Over 6.5 Million Youtube Hits and Over 3.5 Million Album Sales Worldwide
    TOMMY FLEMING BIOGRAPHY With his powerfully distinctive voice, Tommy Fleming has been described as the “Voice of Ireland”. Today Tommy is one of Ireland’s top entertainers with over 6.5 million YouTube hits and over 3.5 million album sales worldwide. The youngest of six children, Tommy was born in 1971 in Aclare, County Sligo. His natural singing ability was evident at a young age whilst participating in local talent competitions. While still at school, Tommy formed his first rock band, The Face of February, and embarked on gigging in local pubs. After leaving school Tommy joined a quartet, Jarog, gaining a legion of fans. However, despite this success, record companies weren’t exactly knocking on Tommy’s door. Then a chance encounter with renowned producer and composer Phil Coulter changed all that. In July 1993, Phil heard Tommy performing at a charity event in Westport, County Mayo. Within days Tommy was guesting with Phil and his orchestra at the Opera House (Cork), the National Concert Hall (Dublin) and The University Concert Hall (Limerick). Four months later he was playing to huge audiences across the US and Canada, culminating in two shows in the Boston Symphony Hall and the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York. Tommy’s career then took another leap forward when he was invited by Galway traditional group De Danann, to join them as lead vocalist, following in the footsteps of living legends as Mary Black, Maura O’Connell, Dolores Keane and Paul Brady. The collaboration lasted three years and introduced Tommy to a worldwide audience touring Australia, Hong Kong, China and the US.

  • SECRETARY's REPORT 2010 the Highlight For
    SECRETARY’S REPORT 2010 The highlight for us all in 2010 was undoubtedly the ‘Down Journey’ which brought a new sense of excitement and expectation that has been missing in the County for a long time. Thanks to everyone involved, particularly the Clonduff lads on the panel – Aidan, Jason and Darren. On the Club front, there were many and varied successes reflecting the inclusive nature of the Clonduff Structures. Clonduff fielded teams in the four field sports and was well represented in Scór na nÓg and Scór Sinsear and successfully competed in the Handball leagues. County titles were achieved in Senior Camogie (separate report), Adult Hurling, U15 Óg Spoirt Football, U14 Football, Set Dancing, Novelty Act, Senior, Junior and Juvenile Handball. Our young people represented the Club at National Congress (Youth Delegate and Entertainment), National Youth Forum and the Down Fundraising ventures, and almost eighty of our young people were involved in the successes of their respective educational establishments with Cathal Murray at the helm in St Colman’s, Mark Copeland in SRC, Lorraine Maginn in St Mark’s and Ryan McShane in University of Liverpool. There are up on a dozen former Clonduff players expounding the skills of Gaelic Games at varying levels to other clubs. One of the most disappointing aspects in Clonduff life was our inability to provide meaningful games for the young girls who wanted to play Ladies Football – the U12 games were scheduled for the same day as the U12 Camogie and the U16 team was entered in the highest league and in their first round games found themselves totally demoralized and the team was withdrawn.

The School brought together the resources of UCD Business School, UCD School of Law and its Irish Advisory Board to undertake this work. It also provided a team of students to support the facilitators in their running of the break out sessions. The output of this work represents the thoughts of 270 people from 37 countries who addressed 15 different themes in 16 working groups over two days. This comes to the equivalent of nearly 1300 hours of work by the members of the working groups. We hope we have brought an independence and a level of analytical skills to these deliberations, representing here only the opinions expressed in the working groups and reflecting the themes that emerged over the two days of the Forum.

  • Pennews Summer 2012 Draft 4
    PENINSULATHE NEWSLETTER OF THE DONABATE PORTRANE COMMUNITY COUNCIL NEWS www.donabateportranecommunity.com Donabate makes it all the way to the G-Team final The man who dragged Donabate to the finals of the biggest Irish language competition in history took on the job because he thought it would take just a few days out of his busy life. But Fiachra Ó hEochaidh soon discovered that his attempt to "big up Donabate" for TG4’s reality show ‘G-Team’ was set to become a year-long afair. "But it was an enjoyable if somewhat SUMMER 2012 manic year," he soon adds, looking back on the huge success he and his committee had turning the area into a mini Gaeltacht. Camera crews became regular visitors to Donabate as slowly the village made its way from an original entry of 120 towns to the final of the G-Team series, Fiachra and local resident Joe Brady where a prize of €40,000 was up for grabs. The Tipperary village of Lisvarrinane ended up winning the title and the cash, but for over a year the eforts of the Donabate G-Team instilled pride in the community as well as getting many who have not spoken much Irish to utter a cúpla focail on TV. A teacher of Irish and history in the Ratoath Community School in Co Meath, Fiachra lives in Carr’s Mill. He is from Swords originally, but his mother Bláithín Delargey grew up in a house just inside the gates of St Ita’s Hospital. Fiachra’s Trojan G-team eforts were ably assisted by Fergal Power, Trish Carey, Joe English and Áine Bhrolcháin.
