The GAA and the HSE launched a joint venture yesterday in Cork which seeks to address the problem of stress in Irish society.

Colin Regan, the GAA Community and Health Promotion Manager, welcomed the initiative, saying: “This has rolled out from the GAA Healthy Club project, which we launched in Croke Park back in March 2013.
