The GAA has today launched a new strategic plan entitled ‘Aontas 2026 – Towards One GAA for All’, to grow and sustain the Association over the next five years.
An event held at St Fechins GAA Club in Co Louth was attended by Uachtarán Larry McCarthy and Ard Stiúrthóir Tom Ryan along with representatives of the Association where details of the plan were announced.
The strategy features a variety of objectives to realise the GAA’s vision as a sustainable community-based and volunteer-led Association where as many as possible, participate in Gaelic games and culture for as long as possible.
The stated priorities of the Association between now and 2026 are:
- Maximum participation among players, coaches, referees and officers
- A sustainable Association with thriving Clubs at its core
- Six codes, one Association
- A connected and inclusive Association
- Good governance among GAA units
The headline initiatives to be pursued within these priority areas include:
- A major programme of investment in referees and match officials to maximise support, respect and role performance
- The design and rollout of a Club accreditation programme which promotes self-sufficiency and sustainability
- The development of a shared vision and roadmap to form One Association to govern all Gaelic games codes
- The implementation of the Association’s new communications strategy which prioritises proactive communications in a digital-first world
- A review of governance structures and roles to deliver more effective and efficient support services to Clubs and Counties
