There is now an opportunity for members of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) to benefit from a new “Affinity” scheme being offered by Gaelic Insurance in Northern Ireland.
Gaelic insurance provides car insurance, mortgages and life cover, and have set up the scheme whereby every time a member of a GAA club takes out a policy, their club will be paid a commission, thereby providing additional funding for their clubs.
The scheme is expected to help a lot of gaelic football and hurling clubs provide funding to gaelic sports in Northern Ireland at grassroots level.
Whilst initially running in Northern Ireland only, there are plans afoot however, to extend the arrangement to the rest of Ireland in the spring of 2009.
The marketing manager of Gealic Insurance, Karen Quinn, said:
“The popularity of Gaelic games has increased dramatically over the past decade and represents the largest sporting organisation in Ireland”.
“The GAA is one of the strongest organisations within Irish society and at it’s very core are the local GAA clubs, run and managed on a voluntary basis. Gaelic Insurance has acknowledged the opportunity to provide a product and service that would boost fundraising at no extra cost to members and supporters”.
“Gaelic Insurance will provide the highest quality insurance protection for its policyholders by bonding together to create a true relationship between policyholder and the nominated GAA club or school of the policyholders’ choosing.”
The Gaelic Athletic Association is an amateur Irish and international cultural and sporting organisation mainly focused on promoting traditional irish sports such as hurling, camogie, Gaelic football, handball and rounders.
With a membership of some 800,000, it is the largest organisation in Ireland.
