• W863937640 abstract "Ireland has undergone a great deal of transformation in recent times; these haveaffected every fabric of our society, including that of the GAA. ‘ With the dawn o f thenew millennium, we have recognised that there have been huge social, economic anddemographic changes that require self examination and critical analysis ’(Cumann Luthchleas Gael, Strategic Review, 2002; 3). With this in mind, theheadquarters of the GAA requested the Leinster Council (the governing body of theGAA in Leinster), to carry out an investigation into the changing demographic natureof Leinster’s urban areas and how this will affect club structures. These changingdemographics are affecting the GAA clubs in these areas, and thus, there needs to bean inquiry into the impacts, consequences and possible solutions of such changes.This is the primary focus of this thesis. As Ireland is becoming increasinglyurbanised, the GAA understand that it is essential to monitor the changing situation,and to thus take the necessary action to ensure the organisation maintains itspopularity nationwide. According to MacNamee, the GAA has traditionally been‘weakest where the population is increasing’ (MacNamee Report, 1971), and thus in arapidly urbanising society there needs to be steps need to be taken to ensure thepreservation of a high standard on the playing field. The association is held veryclosely to many Irish hearts, and it is considered too valuable an asset in Irish life,culture and sport to be neglected. It would be a high price to pay as a consequence ofour negligence to adapt, understand and examine the demographic shift that has beenoccurring recently and continues to transpire.The thesis will follow a series of steps, which will examine the different issues athand, and will lastly be drawn together with some general conclusions. It will followthese steps; firstly in chapter one there will be an introduction to GAA, which willprovide the background to the association and its current status. A literature reviewwill follow on from this in chapter two. It will explore the relevant writing on thisissue, spanning from an extremely broad sporting and population examination, to onemore focused specifically on Ireland and the GAA. Next will be the methodologychapter where I will be discussing the ways in which the research has been carriedout. It will be a run through of the methods used, people encountered and problemsexperienced along the journey. Chapter four will focus on the research used and willbe broken into three sections. Firstly, urban demographic change in Leinster will beinvestigated, and the reasons for the choice of the target towns will be revealed.Secondly, each town or city will be examined individually and in greater detail.Specific population figures and current club situations will be analysed, includingindebt interviews with people involved in those areas. Recommendations for thefuture of the GAA will be provided for each town. The third research section is a casestudy. It is based around an interview with an individual who occupied a major role inthe setting up of a new GAA club in a rapidly urbanising area. The final chapter willoutline the conclusions that have been formulated and detail recommendations for thefuture of the GAA in the urban environment." @default.
