[The Camogie Association @OfficialCamogie]

The Camogie Association are seeking clubs to host a teenage Halloween Camp during the Halloween Break, 27th - 31st of October for a minimum of three days of the clubs choosing 👻

Each camp incorporates camogie with other sport and non sport activities that could complement Camogie and is for girls aged 13-17 years. This camp targets teenage girls who enjoy the social aspect of camogie, enjoy spending time with their friends and trying other activities 🥳

Applications are now open for clubs to host a camp in their club. Deadline for expressing interest is 12pm 3rd of September 2025. Allowing enough time for links to be set up and registrations so hoodies can be ordered for each participant❗️

🔗 https://t.co/wkLcseRmBt

Each successful club will receive a grant of €500 to host the camp, plus 50% of the participation fee following the completion of the camp (approx. €23 to the club per attendee)

Camp cost is €50/£40 for the teenager, which includes a Her Moves Hoodie and a fun few days of camp.

This expression of interest request must be submitted using your official @camogie.ie email address. Please note only club applications will be accepted.

150 years of teacher education in Drumcondra. A remarkable legacy for this northside suburb!

[DCU Institute of Education @DCU_IoE]

150 years ago this weekend, teacher education came to Drumcondra. Thousands of educators have studied here, and gone to work with hundreds of thousands of children, young people and adults in Ireland and around the world. Today, our St Patricks Campus is home to 4000 students.

[DublinLGFA @dublinladiesg]

TODAY Sat March 8th is International Women’s Day.

Let us take a moment to appreciate the wonderful women who play such a pivotal role within our association here in Dublin.

We are so thankful to everyone past and present who have helped shape our association now in its 40th year into one that stands 30,000+ members strong.

To every female coach, mentor, player, referee, committee member, administrator, supporter, sponsor, parent & guardian - GRMA

A morning with ETB leaders. Better than any Black Friday shopping!

[Anne Looney @annelooney]

Michael, teachers get things done irrespective of the size of your luggage, your access to online check in, or your ability to pay extra to sit with your friends. When things go wrong they help, in person. And if school is cancelled, they will make sure you get home safely.
