If the GAA were to dismisss the UAE, only Irish emigrants would suffer

It was with some disappointment that a number of members of Dubai Celts GAA and I read Kieran Shannon’s article (‘World’s big enough for GAA to look beyond Dubai’ , Irish Examiner, January 5).

I note that this disappointment arose from a number of inaccurate and harmful claims made in his article.

Firstly, Mr. Shannon neglected to mention that we in fact hosted the Dublin footballers in 2011 and the Galway hurlers are our guests at the time of writing.
