Save Páirc Seán MacDiarmada
Please sign this very important petition now, let Leitrim GAA know that this mercenary defilement of Leitrim's most revered citizens name and legacy will not stand.

Is there nobody to shout stop to the GAA despoiling the name and legacy of Leitrim's most renowned citizen by adding the name of a credit card company to Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada?Bad enough that not one single GAA club in Leitrim is named after him (while several other clubs bear his name) but now the county pitch name is to be sold to the highest bidder. Will the Avantcard logo appear on the tricolour that flies over Páirc Seán MacDiarmada from now on? It may as well because the name of the man who ensured its existence is now to be similarly defiled

Absolute shame on the county board. Selling our history for a few quid is a disgrace to every man who fought for this country.
