    Introduction GAA Games Development 2014 Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council GAA Games Development 2014 A Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council @GAAlearning GAALearning www.learning.gaa.ie Foreword Foreword At a Forum held in Croke Park in June 2014 over 100 young people aged 15 – 19 were asked to define in one word what the GAA means to them. In their words the GAA is synonymous with ‘sport’, ‘parish’, ‘club’, ‘family’, ‘pride’ ‘passion’, ‘cultúr’, ‘changing’, ‘enjoyment’, ‘fun’, ‘cairdeas’. Above all these young people associated the GAA with the word ‘community’. At its most fundamental level GAA Games Development – through the synthesis of people, projects and policies – provides individuals across Ireland and internationally with the opportunity to connect with, participate in and contribute as part of a community. The nature and needs of this unique community is ever-changing and continuously evolving, however, year upon year GAA Games Development adapts accordingly to ensure the continued roll out of the Grassroots to National Programme and the implementation of projects to deliver games opportunities, skill development and learning initiatives. As recognised by Pierre Mairesse, Director General for Education and Culture in the European Commission, these serve to ‘go beyond the traditional divides between sports, youth work, citizenship and education’. i Annual Report for the Irish Sports Council. GAA Games Development 2014 2014 has been no exception to this and has witnessed some important milestones including: 89,000 participants at Cúl Camps, the introduction of revised Féile competitions that saw the number of players participating in these tournaments increase by 4,000, as well as the first ever National Go Games Week - an event that might have seemed unlikely less than a decade ago.

We benefit again from an exceptional welcome from the Casements of Port Chluain Eoghain on what is a special day for the club and ourselves as a county. Having hosted the club’s first ever national league fixture last week, which seen a healthy victory for our senior hurlers against Meath, we are delighted to return today for perhaps our most important match of the year against Limerick. Moving Day is a term sometimes used in American sports to describe the critical day in a league campaign, where games of determinative significance take place which will have a bearing on the final league places. Today is such a day for both of our senior teams. We welcome Limerick today who are unbeaten in the league and rightly sit at the top of the table, however we have targeted maximum return from our home fixtures so today is a must win. Victory today will place us one point behind Limerick, heading into the last two games, away to Wicklow on 15th March and finishing at home against Waterford a week later on 22nd March. Second place in the league will secure a place in the league final at Croke Park. Limerick also still have to play Wexford who have won their last 3 games since losing to us on day one, so it is all to play for.

Archaeological Discovery at Dowth Contents Features Archaeological Professor Harry Nutrition and Molecular Research 5 Discovery at Dowth 9 White – Festschrift 11 the Elderly 13 into HIV Housing and student accommodation: the patterns and the lessons are the same Amongst the cranes stretching into the Belfield skyline are 5 on the Roebuck student residences site. Back in January UCD received permission for 2,118 bed spaces to be developed in two phases under the new fast-track planning process for housing developments of 100 or more units that can now be made directly to An Bord Pleanála rather than to the local authority. EILIS O’BRIEN According to international commercial real estate advisors, Cushman and Director of Communication and Marketing Wakefield, the purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector is growing and has now come into its own as a serious investment option for profit-driven, international portfolio managers. In Dublin, they estimate the current PBSA market has 11,340 bed spaces with a further 6,160 under construction, including the first phase of the new UCD development with 1,000 spaces. Big investors and big operators are moving into the Irish market, as they have done in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. The largest investors in Ireland are Hines, Harrison Street Real Estate, GSA and Summix. The biggest operators are Aparto, Uninest and Host. UCD has argued that building our own student accommodation is better on a number of fronts: it gives us a critical mass of students living on campus to create a more vibrant atmosphere and to sustain better food and retail services; it gives students a social centre when they arrive in Dublin; it guarantees a certain standard in terms of quality of accommodation; and it relieves the pressure on the private rental market.
