New Ulster GAA Strategic Plan Launched

Ulster GAA today launched the Council’s fourth Strategic Plan “Ag tabhairt ceannaireacht, tacaíocht agus ag saibhriú pobail: Leading, Supporting and Enriching Communities” at the Tyrone GAA Centre, Garvaghy. The plan will direct the work of the Ulster Council right up until the end of 2020.

Speaking at the launch, Ulster GAA President Michael Hasson said:

‘’This plan has been developed through a wide-ranging consultation process with our members and key stakeholders to reflect community, health and wellbeing, infrastructure, culture, integration, language, and coaching. It charts the course for the Association in Ulster over the next four years, whilst taking into account the challenges presented by modern society”.

The new Ulster GAA plan identifies 9 strategic goals:

1. Provide leadership, stewardship, and trusteeship to strengthen the Association

2. Protect and grow our volunteer base

3. Ensure financial sustainability of the Association

4. Promote Ulster GAA messages to all stakeholders

5. Build working relationships within the GAA family

6. Maximise the quality and experience within GAA facilities

7. Develop and promote the Irish language, our activities and culture

8. Promote sport for social good

9. Encourage continuous development of our players, coaches, administrators and referees at all levels

Danny Murphy Ulster GAA Provincial Secretary commented:

‘’Feedback from our consultation has emphasized the need to focus on our clubs. This support is central to the development of this strategy. The key strategic themes around volunteers, leadership, stewardship, integration and inclusiveness are there to celebrate and support our sporting and cultural heritage’’
