Ruth Chambers, her husband, Mike, and their children, Aidan, 10, and Sarah, nine, all marched together with their local GAA club in this year’s St Patrick’s Day parade in Navan.

“All four of us love the GAA. We spend all our time together in the club. Mike’s involved in admin and Aidan loves going down there with him, putting out the cones, hanging up the jerseys in the dressing room with his dad.
