A total Prize fund of 10,000 Euro is being made available, with 4 successful clubs in the province to be awarded 2,500 Euro each.

The Awards were launched in front of a large attendance at Scór na n- Óg on Saturday, December 7th. In launcing the Awards, Munster Council Chairman Ger Ryan, spoke of the GAA’s commitment to Irish and that the establishment of the Michael Cusack Awards by Munster GAA was part of the continuation of this tradition.

Seán Ó Sé, well known Kerry footballer and GAA ambasadóir na Gaeilge for 2024 said “This is a fantastic opprtunity for clubs. It is important to highlight the use and promotion of Irish in our clubs. Irish is so much more than just a subject in our schools and the Michael Cusack Awards give our clubs the chance to showcase this.’’

Aedín Ní Bhriain, Munster GAA’s Irish Language Officer, said ’In linking with clubs in the province, as part of the Joe Mc Donagh Foundation, I have seen the excellent work that goes on to promote Gaeilge throughout the Province. We are looking forward to seeing the entries from clubs for this competition and the winning clubs will be presented with their prize of 2,500 Euro each as part of Munster GAA’s celebrations for Seachtain na Gaeilge’

An Ghaeilge Abú!
