A new Central Fixtures Oversight Committee was formed last month, headed up by former Munster GAA chair Ger Ryan.

Chaired by former President of Ireland Mary McAleese, the SGI remains confident that joining forces will be a reality in two years.

'The integration of three separate associations, who have spent decades building their own identity, structures and ways of doing things, is an extraordinary undertaking.
'This is a complex piece of work involving experts across the three associations.

McAleese added: 'I urge all stakeholders to do everything they can to make an integrated mindset a reality in their sphere of influence.
"It is our future and making it happen is the responsibility of all.'

Students from Wexford and Kilkenny schools to feature in new RTÉ documentary
Over five years in the making, the series is a landmark documentary production, exploring the evolution of Gaelic football from its inception to the modern day, and the invaluable contribution which the sport has made to Irish life. Filmed in cinema-quality 4K, the series also features the final television interviews conducted with GAA stalwarts Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, Kerry's Seán Murphy and Mick O'Dwyer, Dublin's Jimmy Gray and Mayo's John O'Mahony and Dr. Mick Loftus. Chronicling how the game has changed through more than a century of rebellion and revolution, bitter rivalries, triumphs, upsets and comebacks, the series is both a celebration and exploration of a unique arm of Irish life. Its unique story is told through the testimonies of players, managers and expert commentators, captivating archive and stunning visuals. Hell for Leather: The Story of Gaelic Football tells the story of a game born out of necessity, dreamt up by a nation in search of a social identity and something that could challenge the pre-eminence of foreign games. Gaelic football later took root in the northern counties and became a truly all-island sport - a game of and for the Irish people. A sport with a presence in just about every village in Ireland, Gaelic football has a hugely important legacy, and this is the story of that legacy. The entire series consists of over 80 interviews conducted with, among others, Michael Murphy, David Clifford, Jack McCaffery, Juliet Murphy, Shane Walsh, Brian Fenton, Mick O'Connell, Cora Staunton, Joe Brolly, Tony Hanahoe, Colm Cooper and Briege Corkery. It also features contributions from managers past and present - Jim McGuinness, Padraic Joyce, Seán Boylan and Kevin McStay. Meanwhile, school children from Catherine McAuley Junior School, New Ross Educate Together and Marymount NS The Rower feature in the series, with players from Rathgarogue Cushinstown GAA also included. Produced by Crossing the Line Productions, one of the producers, Siobhán Ward is a native of The Rower in south Kilkenny, and is proud to have worked on the series from her hometown, and to see the local areas and participants also included in the production. The first episode, The Renaissance, will see Brian Fenton fighting back tears as he details his love of the game, while David Clifford's magical feet are revealed in slow motion and Shane Walsh kicks the paint off the gable wall at his family home. The series debut takes the viewers from these modern magicians on a journey back in time, to the rough and tumble origins of Gaelic Football. Through rebellion and civil war, it exploded like a prairie fire to become the most played game in Ireland.

Croke Park launches new accessibilty services
Croke Park has recently launched two new accessibility services aimed at making match days more inclusive for those with accessibility needs. The new Sensory Room is designed to support spectators who may have sensory processing needs, while a new Audio Descriptive Commentary service intends to make sports more accessible for blind or vision-impaired supporters. Located in the GAA museum, Croke's Park's Sensory Room - also known as Cú Chulainn's Corner - aims to offer a place of solace and relaxation, away from the commotion of the stadium. Thirteen-year-old Jackie McCullagh, who is blind, says facilities such as the Sensory Room in Croke Park are essential for people like him. "I find loud noises quite hard sometimes because I'm blind, so I perceive all my information through my ears. So I'd like to just step into somewhere that's quiet and then after a while go back into the noise again." Jackie explains that this new facility has made a real difference for him, as he's now more likely to attend matches, as well as other events. He said: "even if I don't end up using it, I just know I've got that option. It would encourage me to go to other things. If there was an artist I wanted to see, I wouldn't have gone previously. Whereas I might consider it now". GAA President Jarlath Burns welcomed the launch, describing the Sensory Room as a place of comfort and sanctuary - an important addition in a national stadium such as Croke Park. "I think that all public buildings and organizations should be focused very, very strongly on neurodiversity. "One of our values is inclusion. We are the place where we all belong, and that should not just be where people who are playing our games belong, but for everybody who has an interest in Irish culture, or in our games," Mr Burns said. "We should be able to play a part on their terms, not them coming to our terms. And I think that's what inclusion is all about," he added. Croke Park's Sensory Room and Audio Descriptive Commentary Service officially launched on 19 May. These services are part of Croke Park's wider efforts to improve accessibility and ensure that as many supporters as possible can enjoy the match day experience at the stadium. The Audio Descriptive Commentary Service is a collaboration between Croke Park and Vision Sports Ireland, the National Governing Body for promoting sport and physical activity for people who are blind and vision impaired.

Dublin GAA star's link to RTÉ presenter mum — who admits it's ‘hard to watch' him play
A Dublin GAA star's mum has admitted that it's 'hard to watch' her son play — particularly after she tried her hand as Bainisteóir. Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne emerged as a rising star in the Dublin senior team, after he won an All-Ireland U20 title with the county, which he captained, in 2019. Making his senior debut that same year under legendary manager Jim Gavin, Peadar's mum Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh — who took Nobber GFC to the semi-final of Celebrity Bainisteóir 2010 — admitted that while she's proud of her son, it's sometimes hard to watch your son in a game as physical as GAA. Dublin's rising star Peadar Ó Cofaigh Byrne's mum Bláthnaid has admitted that it's hard watching her son play. Pic: Ray McManus/Sportsfile 'I'm very proud,' Bláthnaid told RSVP. 'It is hard to watch as a mother though. If they get a belt, you want to kill the person that hit them, it is human nature. If the referee is talking to him, you are wondering what he said. 'The younger lads are playing together on the club minor team as well, pride is a great thing,' she continued. 'When I think of Peader, I think of all his pals and of course you want them to continue. 'When you are in the thick, everything is important but you take the next thing as it comes because there are injuries… he's very competitive and happy, and he's good at football.' Bláthnaid recently spoke about her son being a senior GAA player, admitting that it is a bit scary at times. Pic: Gareth Chaney/Collins Photos Peadar recently spoke about wanting to fill the void left by county captain Brian Fenton, who announced his retirement last November, as well as James McCarthy, who himself retired a few weeks prior. 'They are tough boots to fill. Playing with James and Brian was a pleasure,' Brian said ahead of the All Ireland club final. ' I know there are a lot of lads there. Ethan Dunne is a young fellow coming up, Tom Lahiff and myself. 'There were a lot of lads chomping at the bit and trying to get the jersey off the lads, trying to compete with them and that made us better as a team. That was great but now they're gone.' Peadar admitted that he has some big shoes to fill, particularly following the retirements of James McCarthy and Brian Fenton (pictured). Pic: INPHO/James Crombie 'I have not been involved yet so I don't even know who is even there at the moment … Even with the new rules and stuff, I am sure it will be quite different. I know that it is going to be a massive loss for the team, character-wise.' Bláthnaid and her husband Ciarán Byrne have four children together — with her previously trying her hand in the GAA as a manager on Celebrity Bainisteóir, managing Nobber. She ultimately lost in the semi-final, with Derek Burke and Castleisland Diamonds beating Mairéad Farrell and Ballymun Kickhams in the final.
