Mullinalaghta GAA success
The Leader congratulated Mullinalaghta St. Columba's GAA Club, stressing the importance of parish pride, community and sport. Further remarks from Members and the Chair kept the exchange on the club's achievement and its Longford roots.
On a personal note, I congratulate Mullinalaghta St. Columba's GAA Club on its wonderful success. It underlines the importance of the pride of the parish and the half-parish. Charles Kickham and "Pride of the Parish" illustrate the importance of the GAA.

Last Sunday we saw six sets of brothers play. The club draws from a population of 440 people. The team could well be playing Dr. Crokes in later times, a Leas-Chathaoirligh.

Senator McFadden reminded me that the team is from County Longford, a good midlands county. The importance of sport and community is something we should herald today also. My apologies for not recognising Mullinalaghta. I congratulate the club again.
