About FSMD

The Joe McDonagh Foundation was established three years ago, and since then significant progress has been made. This wonderful scheme gives clubs all over the country of Ireland the opportunity to use Irish in an enjoyable and practical way. Joe McDonagh’s aim was to weave the Irish language into all the GAA’s activities. No doubt, he would be delighted with the progress made by the various clubs that have benefited from this scheme. I highly commend the Foundation and the cooperation between the Gaelic Athletic Association and Glór na nGael. Huge strides have been taken since the scheme was set up, and we look forward to continuing developments in the years to come. In unity there is strength.

The Joe McDonagh Foundation is a support service provided by Glór na nGael and the Gaelic Athletic Association to GAA clubs wishing to further the Irish Language in their community. Most clubs have been promoting the Irish language in some form or another. The Foundation is here to help develop that promotion in a more measured and planned fashion. Glór na nGael will offer help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support, and ideas to build on the good work that has already been done within the club. Grants are available from the Foundation to help realize your plans and medals will be awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in the promotion of the language. By registering with the Foundation your club is giving a commitment to actively promote the Irish Language and to make it an important aspect of the daily life of your club.
