The GAA has reiterated its stance that the association does not comment on elections or referenda.
In recent days, high profile GAA personalities such as Tyrone manager Mickey Harte and Donegal All-Ireland winner Eamon McGee have taken public positions on the referendum to repeal the Eighth Amendment.
Over the weekend, Ballyfermot De La Salle GAA club in Dublin distanced itself from a 'GAA Athletes for a NO Vote' launch which was held in the Ballyfermot Sports and Fitness Centre.
A statement issued by the GAA today reads: "The GAA is a non-party organisation whose individual members may, of course, decide to take positions on political issues in accordance with their own personal views and commitments.
"As an Association, however, the GAA does not take a position, or comment in any way, on either elections or referenda."
