Keep pushing for Irish football. ☘️
Your Game. Your Facilities. Your Ask. Ireland will head to the polls on Friday, June 7 for both European and local elections. Football is the most participated sport in the country with over 225,000+ registered players and over 80,000+ registered officials. It is important that our voice as a community is heard. Local representatives will be looking for your vote at the ballot box and we need to make sure football facility investment is a priority at all levels of government including councils. We're asking you to contact your local representative looking for your vote to make football their priority now.
