CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 3 Secretary’s Report for 2012 AGM This year we celebrated the magnificent achievements of the athletes who achieved such outstanding performances in the Olympic and Paralympic games. We were enthralled by the performances of the hurlers and footballers as they strove to win provincial and All-Ireland medals throughout the Spring and Summer. Alongside all this headline grabbing activity thousands of energetic and enthusiastic individuals spent hour after hour planning, training and coaching the young players, a tiny percentage of whom will, in turn, grab the newspaper headlines as they represent their counties in the future. All of these boys and girls are given the opportunity to ‘dream the dream’ and to see themselves as capable of competing with the best thanks to the work of dedicated mentors. These mentors inspire thoughts of greatness and immeasurably contribute towards developing self-esteem and confidence in their charges. In Na Fianna we are blessed with several hundred men and women who fulfil these roles as they look after teams in hurling, football, camogie and handball at all ages and at all levels. All of us are indebted to them for their efforts. A glance through the team reports gives some idea of the extraordinary number of hugely committed and competent individuals who, all year round, look after our club teams from the Nursery to the senior teams in all codes. A sincere thank you to each and every one of you and please keep up the good work and never under-estimate the value of that work on many different levels. There are many other roles to be filled within a club such as Na Fianna. Crucially, we need people to look after the finances, people to manage the facilities, to cut the grass, to maintain the clubhouse, to decide policies, to plan for the future. The list is endless. Again, thanks to all of you. One of the main items on the agenda for every Executive Committee is finance. In the current financial climate it is vital to keep close control of expenditure and to create as much income as possible. As you will see from the Treasurer’s report, Brendan Roddy and Karen Fox have done a magnificent job in this regard. Our main sources of income are subscriptions and bar receipts. I would appeal to all members to pay their subscriptions sooner rather than later. The bad news is that they become due immediately after the AGM! My other suggestion is that groups of mentors or players, and their friends, would occasionally choose the Na Fianna bar for a night out. In addition to supporting the bar this would help people to get to know each other better and to enrich their experience of Na Fianna. Mobhi Rd and its environs are filled with a huge amount of activity each week ranging from the smallest children to adults, from training to inter-county games and a whole range of social events from birthday parties to funerals. The recent Glasnevin Expo showed the club at the centre of the community. A highlight of the year was our Ladies Senior Football team reaching the All-Ireland. Will anyone who witnessed the Gaelic Global Challenge forget the excitement engendered by the huge crowd present and the thrill of entering the Guinness Book of Records. The spectacle of hundreds of people removing water from the pitch in order to host a Féile na nGael semi-final also remains vivid. Finally, a sincere thank you to each member of the Executive Committee who have served during the past year. Each person has made their own unique contribution. Thanks again to all who contribute in any way to the community that is Na Fianna. I wish you all continued success for the coming year both on and off the field. CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 4 CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 Committee Reports Executive Committee Sincere thanks to every member of the Executive Committee for their commitment and hard work during the year. At time of writing, the Committee has met on 18 occasions. Facilities Committee Chaired by Brian O’Sullivan, this committee is responsible for the upkeep of the club’s pitches and premises. Its members include : Dermot Moran, Fintan Brennan, Phil Kelly, Oliver Casserly, Pat Clinton, Pat O’Shea, John Bridgeman, Frank Gray, Brian (Gow) O’Sullivan, Charlie O’Reilly, Gerry Donohoe, Fergus McNally, Martin Quilty, Jim Heffernan, Martin O’Leary, Seán Ó Laoire, Dave Buckley, John Campbell, Tom Ryan and Jim Aughney. These and others are always on call whenever work needs to be done. Special mention must be made of Dermot Moran for the condition of our main pitch. Bar Committee Our Bar and Function Rooms remain vital elements in maintaining our financial stability. Ciara May continues her good work as manager while Aidan Irwin looks after the catering. These are overseen by a committee chaired by Eoin Ó Ceallacháin and including : Tom Gilligan, Charlie O’Reilly , Domo Weir, Joe Walsh, Pádraigín Breathnach and Ronan Nolan. Saturday Morning Teas Many thanks to Mary Doolan, Essie 0’Hara, Mary Donohoe, Marie Campbell, Patricia O’Sullivan, Patricia Lowry, Marie Kirwan, Fionnuala Neville and Mary Behan for providing a lovely service for those who come down to the club on a Saturday morning. Céilí Committee The Club Céilí continues on the second Friday of each month. It continues to be held in the Scoil Chaitríona hall agus táimid buíoch do mhúinteoirí agus Bord Bainistíocht na scoile. Thanks to Ann Ryan, Mary Murphy, Teresa O’Sullivan, Kathleen Taffe and Michael Cooney. We were all sadded during the year by the passing of John Hallanan. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a Anam. Lotto Committee This committee meet every Monday night and comprises Bob Courtney, Seán Behan, Ann Ryan, Seán Lohan, Paddy Hughes and Brian (Gow) O’Sullivan. Well done to Vinny Caffrey for his immense contribution each week. CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 5 Delegates Our Delegates are our link with the various County Boards. Many thanks to Charlie O’Reilly, Kieran Redmond, Dave Fenton, T.J. Gleeson, Rachel Quinn, Ann Ryan, Fiona Greene, Richard Dunne and Eugene McHugh. Club Shop Special thanks to Sean Behan, Sheila Quinn and their helpers for their ongoing work in the Club Shop. Seosamh Breathnach is now providing a great service as he repairs and sells hurleys and helmets in his workshop at the back of the building. Administration Roisín O’Sullivan continues to do a marvellous job in her role as part-time administrator. She is available in the office from 9am to 1pm Mon to Fri. School Pitches Without access to the pitches at Scoil Chaitríona and St Vincent’s School, Na Fianna simply could not function. These facilities are absolutely vital to the future of the club and we have a duty to treat them and their surrounds with respect. We are grateful to the authorities in both schools for their continued co-operation and good will. Tomás Ó Riain Rúnaí CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 6 CLG Na Fianna AGM 27 September 2012 2012 Juvenile Team Reports It has been a busy year at juvenile level. There have been many memorable occasions on and off the pitch and in the handball alley. It was a great privilege for the club to host the National Feile in July. Well done to Brian O Sullivan and his team for superb organistion of this most memorable event. I would like to acknowledge the commitment and hard work of our coordinators, Pat Brennan, Lesley Jamieson, Richard Dunne, Billy McLaughlin, our County Board Delegates, Dave Fenton, Eugene McHugh, Richard Dunne, Fiona Greene and Anne Ryan, and also our referee coordinators Anne O Dea and Ann Ryan. Many thanks to Colm Crowley for promoting gaeilic games in our local schools, in coordinating the nursery on Saturday mornings, providing support to our juvenile mentors and for organising the Summer Camp in July and Cul Camps in August.

It is not intended to be a complete history of our participation, but rather a snapshot through the ages.

  • History of the Mayo Association, Dublin. by John Garavin
    04_History 23/09/2005 11:03 Page 3 History of the Mayo Association, Dublin. By John Garavin The Formative Years ny attempt to identify the factors that have established Muintir AMhaigh Eo personnel in Dublin since the Association was founded in 1905 is not an easy one. Neither fact nor reason can explain how our Association has stood the test of time. In this year of 2005, the Association has reached its centenary. It is a significant milestone in the history of any Association and it is fitting that the achievements, the personnel, the officers and ordinary members and supporters should be recognised and the contribution of so many people should be celebrated in a fitting way. The Mayo Association, Dublin was originally known as the ‘Mayo Men’s Association.’ For obvious reasons, that title is now history. It is now proudly known as the Mayo Persons Association, or, more commonly, the Mayo Association. Mayo is a large barren county. Arable land constitutes a very small portion of its acreage. Being constantly battered by the Atlantic Ocean from Killala to Clew Bay and Killary, it boasts a delightful, jagged coastline. Now probably the jewel in the crown of Ireland’s coastal counties, for both the present Mayo residents and those who have had to make a living elsewhere, there is a strong attachment to their place of birth. In the early 1900s life was not kind to Mayo’s inhabitants. Being born 150 to 3 04_History 23/09/2005 11:03 Page 4 A century of service 200 miles from the capital city of our country left an enormous amount of time and space between the local parliamentarians and the Government officials of the time, who either resided at Dublin Castle, Bank of Ireland, Dame Street, or, of course, in the house of Commons in London.
