This action plan sets out the direction for

current developments and practices in the
County and the outputs from the strategic
consultation and planning process as described

following vision:
4.1 » Vision
The promotion of local and national identity should be combined with the
G.A.A.’s sporting and cultural objectives, to achieve the Association’s vision
to:
“Promote and organise the playing of our national games
by having sustainable structures at club and county level
built on achieving a strong sense of local community
identity”
To achieve this Vision, Dublin GAA must be an inclusive and representative
organisation, which uses its heritage, the commitment of its members, the
loyalty to its games and its immense investment in physical assets to
provide recreational opportunities for all in society, in such a way as to
promote community spirit and local identity as an inherent element of Irish
culture.
