It is important to highlight the use and promotion of Irish in our clubs.’’
Aedín Ní Bhriain, Munster GAA’s Irish Language Officer, said ’In linking with clubs in the province, as part of the Joe Mc Donagh Foundation, I have seen the excellent work that goes on to promote Gaeilge throughout the Province. We are looking forward to seeing the entries from clubs for this competition and the winning clubs will be presented with their prize of 2,500 Euro each as part of Munster GAA’s celebrations for Seachtain na Gaeilge’
