Dublin GAA Clubs Help Local Communities During Lockdown

Mon, 25th January 2021

When the Covid-19 pandemic reached Irish shores last March, GAA clubs throughout the country stepped up to help their local communities.

Club members volunteered to help the vulnerable in their communities with their essentials, in particular with food shopping.

Many Dublin GAA clubs have now reintroduced these measures to assist their local communities over the coming weeks, as we continue our battle against Covid-19.

See some details below of how your local clubs can help you:

BALLINTEER ST JOHNS:

Please share with family, neighbours, friends. BSJ will be helping Centra Marlay Park deliver groceries to those in need of assistance in our community. In line with Government advice, we urge all those vulnerable to please stay at home and please stay safe. Details below. https://t.co/9ASKOFTfgy
