Too Cúl for schools as magazine launched

THE crucial role played by the GAA in the physical and social education of youngsters was referred to by Enterprise, Trade and Employment Minister Micheál Martin, as he launched the first edition of Datz Cúl magazine.

Published by the Cork GAA Designated Area Scheme, the magazine was described as “a novel way of informing people about the varied activities of the scheme” in schools from Togher to Mahon.

“When you read of youngsters enjoying their hurling, and intimating that they will one day play for Cork, it shows how important it is to get young boys and girls playing sport at the earliest age possible,’ Mr Martin said at the launch at Scoil Neasáin, Sullivan’s Quay.
