The GAA voted greatest force for social change in Ireland - beats Vincent de Paul and Mary McAleese

And were are the Girls and Women?? Does Ireland need a Title IX. Yes

Yea its a surprise to me the GAA comes out on top,the reason i stopped playing their games many years ago was because of their total narrow mindedness and opposition to all foreign games,soccer rugby and everything in between was banned up to a few years ago in Croke park,and only lifted it under pressure while the Aviva was being built,they still give me a bad taste in the mouth,but i do like a good hurling game.

Sorry I just can't believe this load of survey That the GAa would change its spots is almost as strange as snakes in Galway. My understanding is that money is the driving force and that the GAA still promotes 'amateur' gamesmanship and still pockets the wedge at the turnstyle makes me wonder where the orbit of attraction is being placed I never found anything in the GAA a sign of growth and movement it is peopled with deadbeats ,has-beens and boon-dogglers If history is rewritten by the Gaa then their magnificent strides to encourage pan-hibernian unity were gigantic but on the ground try finding the killer of Ronan and the structure which promoted irish games for Irish No brit could apply and any RUC got the treatment. I wonder at these surveys and their reason to exist if this is Pr for the GAA it will be paid for and the evidence will be available if its publicty for the GAA then lets look at the tickets for next years SM I suspect some or many of the polsters will get the usual freeby in the Croker and the afters . This organisation needs new blood and new ethos if the reality is to be concrete and not just a bunch of mirrors. Adieu from an ex member of the Fermanagh GAA

The youth of Erin who give so willingly of themselves for medals versus a NIR who made out like a bandit in IR land. A no-brainer.
