Garda Vetting

On 31 March 2022, the GAA launched a new Garda Vetting system which is accessed through each member's Foireann Account.

This new system permits the Clubs Children's Officer to access and validate the ID documentation of each club applicant before it is processed.

The link to this new vetting system can be found on https://www.gaa.ie/the-gaa/child-safeguarding-and-protection/vetting.

Once vetted, an applicant shall be re-vetted every 3 years. If you need any assistance please contact Maria Burke, email: childrensofficer.stmargarets.dublin@gaa.ie


Calling all wannabe coaches! Mark the date - Tues 25th January at 6pm

Are you the parent that turns up every Sat morning at our Nursery academy and watches for the hour but secretly inside would like to 'give it a shot'?

Or are you an existing coach of a team who wants to build up their knowledge and confidence?

Well - this is for you!

On Tuesday 25th January at 6pm, our majestic GPO, Nigel Kennedy will host a 1 hour - complete beginners - introductory course to coaching kids.

The event will take place in Matt Dwyers and will have no cost - just come along and take part!

This 1 hour is not an official qualification - it's an informal session that will show you the basics of setting up several drills, running those drills, knowing what to look for and help kids out with etc.

The aim is to build your confidence so that you'll be able to 'know' what you're doing the next time around rather than 'pretending' to!

Please express your interest below and we'll contact you nearer the time with a reminder of the evening.
