The Geraldines are delighted to announe that the GAA’s popular ‘Ireland Lights Up’ walking initiative returns to McGeough Park in January 2024 in partnership with RTE’s Operation Transformation and Get Ireland Walking. 

The initative will begin this Tuesday the 9th of January at 7:00pm.

Ireland Lights Up (ILU) encourages GAA members of the Geraldines and the members of our community across the parish of Haggardstown and Blackrock to come to the club as we turn on our club floodlights for you and have our new walking track open that will enable our local community to come together to walk and talk in a safe environment during the long dark evenings of winter.

As ever, Operation Transformation (which returned to our screens on January 3rd) will shine a light on this great initiative by showcasing each week on the show GAA clubs that are participating in ILU. 

We will be open every Tuesday evening for the duration of the series.

Uachtarán CLG, Larry McCarthy, said:  

“The GAA is delighted to see Ireland Lights Up return in 2024 in partnership with RTE’s Operations Transformation and Get Ireland Walking. It is one of our most popular community initiatives and its enabling of physical, mental, and social health couldn’t be more timely. 

A registration process will take place on the opening night and we encourage as many people to sign up and come down to the club every Tuesday to take part in the initative. We hope to see as many people from the club and the community down at the club to use our fantastic walking track facility over the coming weeks.

Bring a friend, bring two, get out and be active!
