Nothing says Ireland like the GAA – the Gaelic Athletic Association. Founded in 1884, it’s stated purpose is to promote Gaelic games, culture and lifelong participation as a community based, volunteer-led organisation. And no-one embodies that purpose more than the current President or Uachtarán, Armagh man Jarlath Burns.
A former school principal, Burns captained his county to the 1999 Ulster Senior Football title, served as chairperson and secretary of his club, Silverbridge Harps, and before his election as Uachtarán, served on a number of GAA committees, including chairing the Standing Committee on Playing Rules from 2015 to 2018.
We are delighted to welcome Jarlath Burns to New Ross to officially open this year’s Kennedy Summer School. After his opening remarks, the Uachtarán will engage in a fireside chat with KSS Chair, Eileen Dunne
