	Gaelic Athletic Association Information
		The GAA is sometimes accused of being a sectarian organisation by those who contend that its establishment was based on political nationalism/republicanism and the Catholic Church.
		The GAA is officially non-sectarian, and Charles Stuart Parnell was one of its early patrons.
		Nonetheless relatively few non-Catholics have been affiliated with the GAA, and in Northern Ireland it is linked to Irish nationalism and Irish republicanism by Unionists due to the affinity of many nationalists and most republicans for Gaelic sports and the naming of many GAA pitches after activists from the nationalist and republican pantheon, including clerics.
