The sentence continues after Ireland with "by promoting and preserving Irish games and pastimes"

Not by politicking ;)

: ) your dancing on the head of a pin there!

Quote from: Rossfan on April 18, 2024, 04:45:47 PMDoes that mean they can't do anything in an Ireland with 2 different jurisdictions operating?

It means a united Ireland is a central tenet of GAA aspiration and should remain that way.

Quote from: Rossfan on April 18, 2024, 02:48:53 PMWhat does it say about the GAA?

By the way some other 32 Counry organisations-
Orange Order
Presbyterian Church
Church of Ireland
Catholic Church
Cómhaltas Ceóltóiri Éireann
Cricket Union
IRFU
Hockey Association
Boxing Association
Sinn Féin
Aontú



This is a GAA principle and has not been changed by GFA or anything else:
.
Rule 1.2 of the GAA official guide states our aim as the 'strengthening the national identity in a 32-county Ireland'.

Quote from: Rossfan on April 18, 2024, 01:55:22 PMOur aim should be the promotion, playing and development of gaelic games.
It's a 32 county organisation promoting our games and culture and a united 32 county Ireland. Stuck in this statelet up north, that is a huge aspiration.

Most kids probably start  GAA between 4-7,  and won't have any  knowledge of any Republican links to the association (like myself at that age) unless it's been  drummed into them  from bigoted parents from birth.

So , if the kids enjoy the game , want to play it with their friends and make new ones , be they catholic Protestant or other , then  that's the future. Eventually the anti-GAA bigots  Will dwindle away
As far as I know the GAA still aspires to a 32 county Republic.
Rule 1.2 of the GAA official guide states our aim as the 'strengthening the national identity in a 32-county Ireland'.
 Being a Republican does not make you a bigot... 'Catholic, Protestant and dissenter...'

My mistake : I meant kids from a unionist  background wouldn't have any knowledge of it  at that age , unless  it's come from parents
Ok I see what you mean. Is some who'll never accept the GAA no matter what's done to appease them.

Irish News reporting that Feargal Logan is back on the line. Great to know he is back and made a good recovery by sound of it. One of the good guys...
