This is not a GAA “breakaway” or even a lobby group. We believe totally in working through the GAA’s structures: that’s what they’re there for. We want to protect those structures. Breakaways and elite groups are dangerous. “Of One Belief” is a sounding board and no more, for those who share a belief about the GAA.
In the GAA which was bequeathed to us, in which we were brought up and which we learned to cherish and respect, we do not:
- Pay people to play our games and to use facilities that were put there totally by voluntary effort … but then try to fool ourselves and others that we’re still amateur
- Undermine core GAA rules (ie Rule 11) in secret from our members but in collaboration with non-GAA bodies
- Refuse to consult with the membership on issues of fundamental principle
- Accept that there are two classes of GAA members - inter-County players who are paid and a lesser class of volunteers who merely serve their betters
Nor do we roll over and allow Ireland’s greatest sporting and cultural organisation, and a bulwark against much of what’s going wrong in Ireland today, to be destroyed through greed and selfishness.
If the sentiments above strike a chord with you, then register your details on the form to the right and we’ll be in touch with you.
Bí linn is cuidigh linn: come and join us …do your bit!
