Larry McCarthy is asking GAA members to consider making accommodation available to refugees fleeing war-torn Ukraine.

The GAA is calling on its members to register their interest on the Irish Red Cross’ website, http://registerofpledges.redcross.ie. Offers of houses in the North can be registered on https://www.gov.uk/register-interest-homes-ukraine

“While the shelter of a home is essential, and I encourage all members to register any available accommodation they have, the welcome we extend is just as important in helping to buffer our Ukrainian visitors from the trauma of war and displacement,” the GAA president said.

“The GAA community’s response to the war in Ukraine has been heartening. If you are aware of any refugees having been housed in your community let them know that they are welcome in your GAA club.”
