In an open letter to all Gaels, to appear in most match programmes, GAA President Larry MacCarthy this week stressed the importance of “Respect”. He wrote:
“Another quality that will ensure that our games retain this pre-eminent position will be Respect. Respect for ourselves, respect for the opposition and respect for match officials is crucial for the integrity and reputation of our games and our organisation. How we conduct ourselves says a lot about us. It is my wish that the respect agenda is driven by us, collectively. Respect should be a cornerstone of the culture of CLG. But culture is learned behaviour, and demonstrating respect as a culture must be learned, reinforced and constantly demonstrated, so that it is unequivocally our normal and acceptable behaviour”.
