“In Ireland these guys are icons.”
This is how some of the leading lights in GAA are introduced in a recent NBC News report. The report showcases the efforts of GPA representatives who travelled stateside last week to help in the reconstruction of youth and sports facilities in Breezy Point, Queens.
Breezy Point boasts a strong Irish community, and many of activity and community centres in the area were badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
GPA chairman Dónal Óg Cusack led an 18-strong team in the efforts, supported by Aer Lingus and their work made the ‘Making a Difference’ slot on NBC’s Nightly News.
