GAA county boards should provide welcome kits for newborns – Lynch
4th July 2025 - Senator Eileen Lynch
GAA county boards across the country should gift newborns with a club jersey, said a Fine Gael Senator.
“Bologna FC, in partnership with their local government, provides free jerseys to all babies born in Bologna, before they even leave the hospital. The Italian team provides the jerseys in club-coloured boxes to parents of newborns throughout the city.
“I’d encourage Cork GAA, other county clubs and O’Neill’s to follow Bologna FC’s lead and consider this initiative as a way to develop community spirit and strengthen local identity.
“Cork is a county with a rich GAA history that is underlined with both passion and pride. As we head into the All-Ireland Hurling Semi Final, support for our team has never been stronger.
