Na Piarsaigh GAA Club has a long history in GAA activity in Connemara. Although the Club has played a prominent part in the promotion of the GAA and the Irish Language it has not achieved a great deal of success on the playing field. However it has produced an array of talented footballers that have competed regularly in GAA competitions over the years. It also has produced many volunteers in helping the club fulfill its goals. This especially came to light when the Club developed their new state of the art facilities for both the players and supporters. There were many involved in this initiative, but a special mention to Roisin Sullivan who was one of the driving forces behind its success. Roisin had planned to make a contribution to this audio history, but was unable to do so, because of her untimely death; may she rest in peace.
