PQ 455

Deputy John Paul O'Shea asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht if he is concerned about the recent report from the GAA’s national demographics committee which highlights that 78% of GAA clubs in rural areas are facing declining populations; his views on how this trend can be reversed given the intrinsic importance of the GAA to rural communities and parishes; if he has met with the GAA in relation to their report and its findings; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
