Seir Kieran GAA Club has been part of the GAA Irish Life Healthy Club Project since 2019. We received healthy club status in 2021. Our aim is simple to make the GAA Club a healthier place for everyone to enjoy. We were delighted to receive the Silver Award in October 2023

We have adapted the following policies:

Critical Incident Response Plan which establishes clear, appropriate, and safe guidelines outlining what to do in the case of a critical incident.

Substance Use Policy. Seir Kieran is a Smoke Free Club
