    A question of GAA

    To all the people in message board land I would like to as you a question.

    I dont believe any GAA club or tournament is named after a terrorist. Sorry to disappoint you.

    There are ones named after the Hunger strikers and other Irish republicans I believe but social - disease wanted to know if there were any named after terrorists which there aren't.

    They were IRA and in sosme cases INLA members resisting British rule in Ireland like Connolly, Pearse, Mellowes, Collins, Breen, etc etc in their time. Social - Disease wanted to now was any clubs named after terrorists and there aren't. Nothing to row about there. Simple answer to a simple question.
