“The GAA launched an extensive effort last year to determine our organisation-wide goals for the next three years," commented the Uachtarán.

"This Strategic Plan is the culmination of six month’s work and consultation by a Steering Group which employed various methods with many stakeholders such as our members and volunteers, as well as external parties."

The plan has five goals:

-improve participation -transform the development of volunteers, -advance governance -revamp communication -grow the Association.
