GAELIC Football will be played by Grammar School students in 2025 following a decision made by the school’s Board of Governors. Students had held a number of protests throughout this year over the school board’s refusal to allow them to play Gaelic Football. The pupil’s entered a team into the Lennon Cup earlier this year despite the ban on Gaelic Games but were later forced to withdraw from the competition after receiving a letter from the Board of Governors warning students that they were not insured to play given the fact that Gaelic Football wasn’t sanctioned in the school. The students good natured protests saw them stand outside the school with banners and placards pleading with the powers that be to allow them play Gaelic Football. The protests were often met with support from passing cars who honked their horns in support. Louth GAA Chairman Sean McClean and local politicians including Ruairí Ó Murchú and Erin McGreehan also attended the protests to show their support for the pupils. Continued on Page 2
