The live, supported by Irish Life, event will feature evidence and anecdotes revealing the secrets of a long and happy life
Those in the GAA missing the unmistakable tones and tales of Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh are in for a treat next Tuesday 19th of May 6.30-7.30pm when the broadcasting legend contributes to a special webinar on wellbeing on the topic of ‘How to Age Well’.
The event is part of a series of wellbeing-focused webinars delivered by the GAA’s Community & Health department during the Covid-19 emergency. The latest instalment features a partnership with Trinity College’s and will include a presentation and contributions by Prof Rose Anne Kenny, lead researcher on the TILDA project (the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing). Both the GAA’s Healthy Club Project and TILDA benefit from CSR support from Irish Life.
Prior to Covid-19, TILDA and the Community & Health department, supported by the GAA’s respective County Health & Wellbeing Committees, delivered live seminars on ‘How to Age Well’ to thousands of attendees in counties Longford, Mayo, Donegal, Cork, Limerick, Kerry, and Wexford.
The Covid-19 emergency has caused those planned for Louth, Galway, and Kildare to be postponed, but thanks to the wonders of technology, this live webinar broadcast on the Microsoft Teams platform will bring this valuable research and discussion into hundreds of homes across the 32 counties.
Mícheál will touch on his personal philosophy and approach to health – one that has seen him remain hale and hearty into his 90th year. Prof Kenny will present some of the key findings of TILDA’s 10-year Irish research while also highlighting evidence-based lifestyle practices from the world’s ‘Blue Zones’, regions with the globe’s oldest populations and some of highest levels of life satisfaction.
GAA President John Horan said: “The GAA is proud to represent every age demographic in Ireland. This webinar is not just for GAA members, it is are for anyone in the community that is interested in ageing well. Irish Life is a long-standing CSR partner of the GAA Healthy Club Project, and we’re delighted to broaden that relationship through this collaboration with TILDA.”
Prof. Rose Anne Kenny said: “TILDA is one of the most important research studies in Ireland which helps to better understand why bodies and brains age and how we can best ensure long and prosperous lives, for today’s adults and for future generations. This unique partnership with the GAA ensures that new research from TILDA and other international studies is quickly communicated to all age groups. As a research institution we are very excited about taking this new knowledge out to the Irish people.”
David Harney, CEO Irish Life, said: “Our commitment at Irish Life is to make every community in Ireland healthier, and that commitment extends across all life-stages. With life expectancy in Ireland at 81 years, we want to ensure that people fully enjoy the years approaching and beyond retirement.
“We have been a long-term supporter of TILDA and their vision of making Ireland the best place in the world to grow old. I believe that the GAA’s support of the ‘How to Age Well’ seminar series will bring valuable healthcare information to the wider community and help people of all ages, but particularly those over 50, to embrace change in their physical, emotional, and social lives.”
Ageing starts the day we are born therefore the content of the webinar is relevant to everyone who wishes to age well regardless of their chronological age. However, the partners involved would particularly like as many older adults as possible to enjoy this event and are encouraging young GAA members to assist older relatives to access this session while maintaining social distancing recommendations.

Tom O’Donoghue R.I.P
Cork GAA would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the family and friends of All Ireland medal winner Tom O’Donoghue R.I.P (Sarsfields). Tom also won Railway Cup medals in 1968 and 1969 and also a National Hurling League medal in 1969. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
https://rip.ie/death-notice/thomas-o-donoghue-cork-city-cork/423412
Tom O’Donoghue was an old school defender who delivered for Sars and Cork
THE death has occurred of one of Cork’s toughest hurling full-backs.Tom O’Donoghue anchored the Rebel side that defeated Kilkenny in the 1966 All-Ireland, a huge shock at the time and considered one of the county’s sweetest ever victories. That team contained three McCarthys: Gerald, the captain, Justin and Charlie.
The Sars club man, who hurled for Mayfield in his youth, was a Cork minor in 1958 before making his senior debut in ’64.
He was hard as nails, in an era when every number three had to be, and his duels with Tipp’s Seán McLoughlin were legendary. O’Donoghue also won two Railway Cup medals with Munster, succeeding iconic figures Austin Flynn (Waterford) and Mick Maher (Tipp) in the full-back berth.
Sars’ Jim Murphy paid tribute to an “outstanding servant”.
“He gave great service to the club all the way through his career. He protected every goalkeeper he stood in front of, and when he played, that was very important and not easy to do. He was an outstanding servant to his club and county.”

Slaughtneil GAA – An Insight
Roibeard Eiméid, Sleacht Néill CLG.
This is a webinar with a little difference. We will have a “virtual” round table discussion with some of the people at the coalface of this small club’s huge impact on Gaelic Games in recent years. The discussion will strive to portray that in sporting terms – “Small Clubs can Dream Big”. Our guests will be Michael McShane Hurling Manager, Dominic McKinley Camogie Manager, Aoife Ní Chaiside Camogie Player and Brendan Rogers Hurling & Football player. We will also be joined on the evening by an invited “Guest Audience” -their identities to be revealed only during the event- who will further strive to gain an insight into the magic formula that this great club has discovered!
Note:
Each webinar requires a separate and distinct log-in. Attendees need to complete a registration form for each event and subsequently receive a log-in link.
