The role of a GAA Club is to promote Gaelic games, culture and lifelong participation. Throughout the 32 counties, GAA Clubs are so much more than a place where people play and train - they are the very heart and soul of the community.

We the undersigned players and other members of Clanna Gael Fontenoy value the community, social and cultural life of our Club which has disappeared since Covid.

We want our Clubhouse to be a warm welcoming place where our members can congregate and socialise, discuss Club matters, watch a match, celebrate a win, where adult players can meet after their training and matches, all teams can have get togethers and where we can host visitors to our Club.

We also wish to support the GAA Social Initiative to encourage older people to engage with and come back to our Club.

To this end it is our request that a Working Group with appropriate expertise be established to explore all options and avenues for the provision of a bar, food and beverage and social space in our Club for members, and the provision of social activities for our members and the wider community.
