GAA NOTES

Dromahair GAA club were lucky enough to have our application accepted earlier this year to be part of phase 4 of the GAA Healthy Club initative. We formed a Healthy Club team as part of this - made up of members from the Dromahair mens club (Dromahair Gaa), the Dromahair ladies club (Naomh Padraig Dromahair) and members of the local community coming together to promote health and wellbeing for all in Dromahair.

We hope you have been enjoying our regular posts & updates on the Dromahair GAA facebook page to keep us all going during Covid 19 restrictions. As this is a combined community effort - the Dromahair HealthyClub team have setup our own Facebook & Instagram pages which will be used for these updates going forward. We would apprecaite it if you could join and share in our efforts to support everyone in Dromahair community with their health and wellbeing.

KNOW YOUR EIRCODE

Do you know your Eircode ? Why not write it down and keep it near your phone. You could even tape it on to your landline phone, that way if there’s an emergency you can easily access your code to help emergency services locate your home.

MASS

All of you who are missing going to Mass at this difficult time can log in to Fr Patsy McDermott P.P Killenummery and Killery on Facebook. Fr Patsy McDermott will be offering Mass from his home a few days a week at 12.30 and Sundays at 12 noon. Just search patsy mcdermott on Facebook.

If you don’t have internet, you can get Sunday mass on TV. Also on line there’s Holy Mass every day from Knock at 12 noon and 7.30pm on weekdays. Of course Ocean FM broadcast Sunday Mass from Sligo Cathedral at 10.30am. Take care everyone, keep washing your hands, keep physical distance from people if you’re out shopping or walking and keep safe!

HELP AVAILABLE

Do you need help during this time of social distancing? Don’t be afraid to ask. A group called Dromahair volunteers can be contacted on Facebook. This group are offering to help people with shopping, walking the dog, picking up prescriptions etc. All precautions will be taken as per HSE guidelines so as not to spread virus.

Also the local GAA club on their facebook say “Dromahair GAA has a long standing tradition for being there for their members and community during difficult times. It would be great if in these current times this would continue. We are encouraging people to reach out and visit those who are elderly and living on their own in our community to make sure they’re okay–they may need help getting shopping etc.

Let’s all do our bit, listen to the official recommendations and be there for each other!
