The GAA Oral History Project aims to record the fullest possible picture of what the GAA has meant to the Irish people, in their own words. They want to hear your stories. They need your help to tell the story of your club and county. We here at the Mayo Education Centre feel that this would be a wonderful intergenerational activity to do in your school.The Project will gather people’s stories in many interesting ways.  For more information click here
