	Gaelic Athletic Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The GAA is often accused of being a sectarian organisation, almost always by unionist politicians in Northern Ireland.
		Since the 1960s, GAA has allowed its flagship stadium, Croke Park, to be used for International rules football — a compromise between Gaelic football and Australian rules — in matches between Ireland and Australia.
		The nationalism of the GAA made its members and clubhouses particular targets for loyalist terrorists during the Troubles and up to the present-day.

	Down Democrat - 2003/04/08: GAA: Paddy's Down dream still alive
		Down exploded into scoring action after just 20 seconds when a rapier sharp pass from impressive midfielder Declan Sheerin sliced open the Meath defence and allowed Patrick Pearse McCartan to drill over a neat finish.
		The real problems for Down during the first half was the team’s appalling tendency to simply give the ball away to the opposition.
		Down had already run the substitution changes with Murtagh, Mulholland, McCrickard and McMahon all adding their own brand of spice to the Down effort.

	SUMMER OF 77: Last Hurrah of the Gay Activists Alliance
		GAA was still the only streetwise direct-action game in town - and no matter how many worthwhile new gay and lesbian political and professional organizations were coming into existence to lobby and work “inside the system,” militant confrontational direct action remained an absolutely indispensable weapon for the survival of gay and lesbian liberation.
		GAA concluded that unfortunately history and current events prove this is a brutal, predatory world where those minorities who naively or weakly depend on nothing more than the “basic tolerance and goodwill” of their fellow humans for their safety and freedom often suffer and perish.
		GAA discovered to its outrage that Walinsky did not even live in the city whose laws and public policies he was trying so very hard to influence to our detriment: his residence was located outside New York City, on a large tract in the super-wealthy suburb of Scardsdale in Westchester County, NY.

	GAA better than soccer
		The GAA may not appreciate its women as much as it should but at least we all know who Angela Downey is. The most famous woman in English soccer is Dani Behr.
		The GAA player who performs in front of 70,000 at the weekend will be teaching your kids on Monday or he'll be selling you meat or fixing your drains or representing you in court.
		GAA teams are numbered one to fifteen, soccer teams read like the national lottery results.

	The Kingdom: The Big Voice for the Big Occasion: Will the GAA go down the same road? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Will we eventually have a situation in rural Ireland where the GAA follower will have to travel miles to their nearest pub or community centre to watch a Munster or All-Ireland final on a payper-view basis instead of being able to watch it in the comfort of their own homes.
		Unlike the FAI, regardless of what the financial pressure the GAA would find itself in, it is highly unlikely that the rank and file members of the GAA would ever agree to selling the rights of live broadcasting of its games to Sky.
		It will be interesting to see whether the GAA agrees to the inclusion of the All Ireland finals only on the list, thus leaving the rest of the championship games free for future negotiations.

		In fairness though, I came from a strong GAA family, although I was never quite as keen on the game at primary school as my older brother and I watched him play a lot.
		GAA and rugby lads shared the same watering holes and swapped stories, but I often thought if I went back to parts of south Down and said to certain fellas I was out having a pint with a few rugby boys, they would not be all that happy.
		Homon Down!" If you sit beside them you soon realise their knowledge of the game is very little; they don't even know whether the ball is stuffed or blown up, but they think they're the Joe Lennons and Pat Spillanes of the world.

	Slugger O'Toole: DUP Culture Spokesman on GAA.
		Whether or not the GAA retains its political goal of taking Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom is a matter for the GAA but the organisation should be open about the fact that they hold that political stance.
		Basically the GAA in the North seems to be warped by its environment - one section of the community -wrongly- claims ownership on it and the other is quite happy to allow this as it gives a focus for attacks in the low level culture war.
		Until recently i had not known about all the political material in the Rule book..alot of GAA members are the same.i believe the lack of action to scrap the rule book is the result of a poor knowledge of the book,which is not widely used.

		Down 4-25 London 1-17: LONDON’S defensive frailties and lack of stamina gave Down a flattering 17-point victory at Casement Park on Sunday.
		However, the big question being raised after Sunday’s game is why are Down not considered good enough to contest this year’s Tier One All-Ireland championship instead of Tier Two where they will be among the leading contenders to win the inaugural Christy Ring Cup.
		As so often is the case, Down’s defensive clearance by goalkeeper Graham Clarke went straight down to the opposite goal-mouth where Martin Coulter scored the first of his brace of goals to give the Mournemen a flattering 2-12 to 0-10 half-time lead.

	Police Ombudsman to publish damning report on Sean Brown murder investigation
		At 11.27 on the night of 11 May 1997, Sean Brown set the alarm at the Wolfe Tone GAA clubhouse on the edge of Bellaghy, Co Derry, and locked the gates.
		It was DUP politician, Sammy Wilson, who said that many protestants regarded the GAA as "the IRA at play." Bellaghy's clubhouse was one of many that were burnt out by loyalists over the years.
		In July 1997, Paisley said the "entire pan nationalist front", which includes the GAA, " was united behind the beast of fascism, the IRA." In December, the LVF murdered a Co Antrim team manager, Gerry Devlin, possibly using the same gun used to murder Brown.
