Ireland Lights Up with the GAA

The GAA, in partnership with RTÉ’s Operation Transformation, is seeking to bring together communities across the 32 counties to enjoy healthy walks in the safe, bright, environs of their GAA club. In a bid to make exercise more accessible on the dark winter nights, ‘Ireland Lights Up’ will see participating clubs turn on their floodlights/lighting systems between 7-pm-8.30pm each Tuesday and Thursday for a six-week period (January 15th – February 21st 2019) as Operation Transformation returns to our screens in the New Year.

Each Tuesday and Thursday, club and community members will be invited to come together at participating clubs to walk off the Christmas excess, catch up with their neighbours, and banish the winter blues.

(Walking is proven to benefit both our physical and mental health.
