"Conway says that the experiences of the 1970s and '80s left their mark on the GAA in Ulster and makes the association in the North wary of anything that might replicate the isolation that was felt in those difficult decades when the conflict created a distance between the six counties from the rest of the island, an alienation that was felt on the playing fields with no Ulster county winning a senior All-Ireland between Down's 1968 and '91 victories, which all but book-ended the Troubles.

"People ask us, 'why are you so hung up on the GAA? It's not life and death'. One of the reasons is that if you lived through the bad times and for a generation the time of our lives was spent in the bad times, the GAA was the anchor. Others might have forgotten about us and others might have liked to push us into a corner but the GAA never did that. That isn't forgotten and it's why GAA values remain so important."
He points out that anything which adversely impacts on the economic life of the community has obvious implications for the GAA. The biggest industries in Tyrone for instance are to do with building materials and food processing.
Even if the decision is taken to establish border controls on the coast of Britain that will have implications for those industries, which rely on export markets. It would also he believes impact on the GAA."

Good man Seafoid.

Expecting a good turn out next week - Peter Quinn is coming to talk and facilitate discussion.

If you've never been to Garvaghey, good opportunity to see round it!
