GAA bids to stem player emigration tide

THE GAA in Limerick is working on a major strategy to try and prevent losing players to emigration due to the economic crisis.

A directory is being drawn up of players and other GAA members specifying jobs skills and services they can provide so they can be linked up with GAA-orientated employers who may be able to offer job or work opportunities.

When completed, the directory will be circulated to all 69 Limerick GAA clubs so that members who have work to offer on a full-time or temporary basis will be able to offer it to a GAA member.
