GAA+ delivers championship action to Clare residents of Older Persons Community Nursing Units

Residents in HSE Mid-West's Older Persons Community Nursing Units will have front-row seats for the remainder of this year’s GAA championships, thanks to a renewed partnership between HSE Mid-West and GAA+.

Building on the success of last year’s initiative, GAA+ has once again provided complimentary access to its full 2025 GAA Championship schedule for each of the ten Older Persons Community Nursing Units in the Mid-West region.

While Clare's may be out of this year's championship, GAA fans who call the Community Nursing Units their homes will have plenty of action to watch between now and the end of July.

“A good match can bring people of all ages together and send old fond memories flooding back to us all. We are thrilled to be partnering with the HSE for the second year in a row and are grateful to the frontline HSE staff caring for our older people for making the partnership possible.”

“It’s been heartening to see the joy and excitement this partnership with GAA+ has brought into our Community Nursing Units” said Aisling Ryan, Head of Service, Older Persons, HSE Mid West.

“The GAA holds a special place in Irish life, and for many older people it represents notjustsport, but shared memories, local pride and lifelong connection. Initiatives like this make a real difference in supporting social connection and emotional wellbeing in our care settings.”
