About Us

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. The next thing you know they’re looking for official recognition; “r€sp€ct”; and a cut of the revenues. “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
• Think that the GAA is just another sporting body, up for sale to the highest bidder
• Betray the basic idea that gaelic games are for fun and enjoyment only

Nor do we roll over and allow Ireland’s greatest sporting and cultural organisation, and a bulwark against much of what’s gone wrong in Ireland today, to be destroyed through greed and selfishness.

If the sentiments above strike a chord with you, then look closely at what you might do, in your own place in your own time and in your own way to safeguard the GAA. And keep calling in on this site!
