GAA Online Questionnaire

The GAA have announced details of a new online questionnaire which seeks the opinions of GAA members and the general public on how the Association is perceived and on its role in moden Irish society.

The exercise is part of a broader review in this context which has seen the Association carry out in-depth research among its clubs, players, officials, members and among supporters of the Asscoiation as well as key political and media figures.

The President of the GAA. Mr Nickey Brennan said: "It is important that we consult with our members and the wider community so that we can take as broad a range of views as possible into consideration in terms of how the Association is perceived by our own members and indeed the general public. As part of the process we have prepared a short questionnaire to enable us to get a real insight into opinions about the GAA. It is intended to aid us in understanding where we stand at present and how we can develop in the future and we would welcome the participation of interested parties in helping us acheive this goal."

The GAA have held a series of consultations with its members at all levels in recent months which included nation-wide workshops which sought the opinions of club members of all ages (from 12 years of age upwards) from all over the country. The views of major figures in Irish public life were also canvassed as part of this process and an omnibus national market research programme has been commissioned. A questionnaire has been sent to each club in the country and the online survey represents the final strand in the programme.

The questionnaire is currently available to complete at www.gaa.ie or directly at www.questionnaire.gaa.ie and has already generated a huge amount of interest among individuals wishing to have their say in relation to the ongoing development of the Association.

Have done it but like many surveys the art is in the design of the questions and the available answer options. Bearing in mind some of the controversial questions that boil the blood of many on this, and other, discussion board, I suppose that its no surprise that ther are no questions about rule 42, pay per view, pay for play etc.

I also completed it but found it too general and almost superficial; nothing to get your teeth into.

Agreed.

Didn't realise there was a questionnaire. Just filled it in. Seemed a little light on meaningful questions. Can't see what relevant information can be gathered from that list of questions.

I registered my email address incase there is a more indepth questionnaire at a later date.

It seems just like a basic questionnaire to find out how different groups view the association. Surely it's important to know how positively or otherwise the members, followers etc see the GAA. If you're not keeping the punters happy then you're better off being in a position to do something about it. The problem with this questionaire is that they'll not know what people are actually happy or dissatisfied about.

Our club got a bunch of these out in the post to fill up. Exact same survey. Maybe they'll be comparing the attitudes of folk who reply online vs paper.

What a waste of time.  They could at least have left sections for optional 'additional comments'.
