🌳🌳The last line in Séamus Mallon’s book “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they will never sit.” 2 who made huge contributions to Ireland left us this year. I planted 2 Oaks for Séamus Mallon RIP & John Hume RIP to mark 2020 the year of their passing

After the tragic death of their son Kevin in the US in 2013 The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust was set up by Colin & Eithne Bell and has now returned home 1,000 Irish people who died abroad. They should be very very proud having helped so many Irish families in their darkest hours

Given the GAA season is most likely going to be played behind closed doors wouldn’t it be great if the GAA could reach an agreement to broadcast all the games live 📺 We’d all love to go to matches, but in the circumstances we’d be thrilled to roar on our teams from the sofa 🛋

Mickey Harte is one of the most successful GAA Managers of all time. And he has dealt with more tragedy than most both personally and in sport. He has always personified dignity and strength in triumph and tragedy. He’s a winner in my book. Good luck in the next phase Mickey.

Playing Rules.The ball can be carried in the hand for a distance of four steps and can be kicked or hand-passed. After every four steps the ball must be either bounced or "solo-ed", an action of dropping the ball onto the foot and kicking it back into the hand.
