O’Neill’s historic GPA office visit to support ‘We Wear More’ campaign

History was made yesterday as a GAA president paid a visit to the GPA’s offices for the first time. More important was the reason for Liam O’Neill’s visit.

He was on hand at the impressive offices of the players’ association, their home this past two years since moving from their original and far more cramped lodgings in Drumcondra, for the launch of their Emotional Health and Wellbeing campaign.

Dubbed the ‘We Wear More’ campaign, its aim is to “normalise conversations between players around the more emotional aspects of their lives and to help them develop effective coping mechanisms for times when things are not going so well”.
