I congratulate St Ergnat's GAC Moneyglass on the opening of its new pitch and facilities at Loughbeg Road on Sunday. Céim stairiúil chun tosaigh a bhí ann.
The club has been at the heart of Moneyglass for 75 years. Tá sé go hiomlán fite fuaite le saol an phobail áitiúil.
It is integral to the social fabric of the Moneyglass community. The new pitch and facilities at Loughbeg Road are the culmination of many years of diligent planning, hard work and extensive fundraising by the club and all its members right across the nine counties of Ulster and further afield. It was a personal joy to see how much pride older members of the club as well as younger members had on that occasion. It was a wonderful event. Moneyglass GAC is an exemplary model of community volunteerism, the ethos of the GAA. Is é sin bunchloch Chumann Lúthchleas Gael fud fad na hÉireann.
It is, indeed, the foundation of everything that is best and good about the GAA and for the future.
The pitch and projected facilities, which will flow from Sunday's opening, will secure the future for generations of young Moneyglass Gaels. Guím gach rath leis an chlub.
I wish Moneyglass GAC all the best of luck that it deserves for the future and the next 75 years to come.
