Health & Wellbeing
SOSAD Ireland
We recognise that much of our focus at present is on the health and wellbeing of our family members, especially those within our families who may be at risk or vulnerable at the present time. The GAA is the largest organisation in the country and we are calling on all of our members to make sure that they continue to look out for the continued well-being of all of our neighbours and friends and of course ourselves.
