They give everything for their county—time, energy, sacrifice. But they’re still covering the cost themselves. Proud amateurs, elite standards, growing demands #All-Ireland Finals irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-g…

Well done to Dessie . One of the best - always calm, logical & fair . I had a lot of dealings with him as he played a huge part in steering the @gaelicplayers to proper recognition. A true son of @DubGAAOfficial , a true #Dub . @DubGAAOfficial @clgNaFianna . Gach ráth air!

Dessie Farrell won five All-Ireland titles as Dublin manager - two senior (2020 and 2023), two U21 (2014 and 2017), and one minor (2012). Describes it as a ‘privilege’ to have had the Dublin job and worked for so long with group of players. ‘This is a natural end’

Fair play to our camogie players for standing tall and winning the right to wear shorts or skorts. This is all them. GPA’s proud to have their backs. Best of luck in the championship! #Camogie #LetPlayersChoose

Half the lads in the dressing room won’t talk about mental health — but that doesn’t mean they’re not struggling. Check in. Say something. A message from the dressing room might mean more than you think 💪

6 in 15 men have never spoken about their mental health. That’s nearly half a team. @gaelicplayers teaming up with @Movember and the @officialgaa to change that. Mental fitness matters — on and off the pitch. #TalkMorePlayBetter #GPA aheadofthegame.movember.com/about/

Home advantage is a core principle of championship football. Antrim earned the right to play at Corrigan Park, and that must be respected. Logistical concerns can't override sporting fairness. I stand with the players. Ulster GAA must reconsider. #RespectHomeAdvantage

Met with the Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD tonight to discuss the economic impact and personal sacrifices of Inter-county players. Encouraging to see recognition of their vital role in our sporting culture and the dedication they bring to the game.
