‘As a boy I spent many happy years playing Gaelic football in Pairc na hÉireann, “The skills I learned and the encouragement I received helped me become the player I am today.”

“Warwickshire GAA is at the forefront of making sure everyone from all backgrounds has the chance to play and participate. I fully support the campaign to save Pairc na hÉireann.”

Jack Grealish of course played with Ireland at underage and comes from the midlands in England with a big Irish connection.

A massive endorsement for our campaign from one our own own! @JackGrealish many thanks https://t.co/QZuVR0m2pb
