I am delighted to be here today to launch our exciting 5 Year Strategic Development Plan for Breaffy GAA Club. This plan is a culmination of months of research & is one of the most exciting and progressive events in the club’s history.  The core purpose of the plan is to increase participation & to enhance the lives of its members, supporters and the wider community.
It will build on the club’s strengths and deal with potential challenges in a positive manner.
Seamus stated; This plan is being launched against the backdrop of a global pandemic. It is important that we acknowledge the impact Covid 19 has had on clubs all over the county, however it is equally important for clubs to adapt to this situation and work to overcome the challenges it brings.
Breaffy GAA Club Chairman Gerry Bourke said:
It is with great pride that we introduce this comprehensive plan to Breaffy GAA members and the wider community.
The objectives of the plan are to provide a comprehensive roadmap of activities, football and social facilities within a safe and welcoming environment for all ages to partake and enjoy.
What is particularly impressive is that while we have been living through this pandemic the committee under the leadership of Seamus Tuohy had the determination & perseverance to complete this brilliant document.

This document adds to this, it brings with it a sense of goodwill, renewed optimism as well as continuing to build on community solidarity.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in bringing this plan to actualisation.

GAA Social Media Guidelines

/in

Social media plays an ever increasing and important role in the organisation and promotion of our Games. It provides an engaging forum through which the GAA community can connect. The GAA Social Media Policy and Guidelines have been developed to inform our community about using social media so people feel enabled to participate, while being mindful of the standards expected by the GAA and other entities such as the Data Protection Commissioner.
The contents provide practical guidance to allow all parties to benefit from the use of social media and to have fun online, while minimising potential risks and protecting everyone involved. It also gives practical guidelines and advice for Clubs and Counties on social media channels, illustrating many specific related risks and provides solutions. It is important to recognise that each person is individually responsible for what they post online. The information that follows is designed to provide guidance to GAA Units and members on how to communicate appropriately and lawfully online. The GAA does not accept responsibility for the online activities of individual members or GAA Units.
