Kerry on board for Lights Up

THE GAA, in partnership with RTÉ’s Operation Transformation, is seeking to bring together communities across the 32 counties to enjoy healthy walks in the safe, bright, environs of their GAA club. In a bid to make exercise more accessible on the dark winter nights, ‘Ireland (Kerry) Lights Up’ will see participating clubs turn on their floodlights/lighting systems between 7pm and 9pm each Monday for a six-week period (January 22 – February 26). Each Monday, club and community members will be invited to come together at participating clubs to walk off the Christmas excess, catch up with their neighbours, and banish the winter blues. GAA clubs are already becoming hubs for health through the Healthy Clubs Project. During the six-week period Operation Transformation cameras will visit a selection of participating clubs across the series, with all clubs encouraged to capture their stories via videos and images for use on the show, GAA. ie, and RTÉ’s various platforms. The GAA is seeking expressions of interest from clubs that are keen to participate, please contact Children’s Officer Bernie Reen for further information.
