    A Hurling Development Plan Workgroup has been established to facilitate the formulation of a three-year action plan to sustain and grow Hurling in line with the overarching vision and goals set out in the GAA Strategic Plan - Áontas 2022-2026. As part of this piece of work, we are keen to hear from members and stakeholders on what actions would sustain and grow Hurling across the country, with a particular focus on the developing Hurling counties.

    The GAA has now confirmed the formation of a committee, chaired by Maynooth GAA's Colm Nolan, which it said would "facilitate the formulation of a three-year action plan to sustain and grow hurling in line with the overarching vision and goals set out in the GAA strategic plan."

    The GAA said the primary aims of the action plan were to:

    1. Conduct a review of the findings and recommendations of previous plans, reports, action statements on the game over the past 15 years.
    2. Conduct a review and analysis of current hurling activity at club, primary, post primary, higher education and inter-county levels across all tiers of the game - but with a special focus on Joe MacDonagh, Christy Ring, Nickey Rackard and Lory Meagher counties.
    3. Review the current subsidised hurley and helmet scheme.
    4. Consult with key stakeholders as required.
    5. Work with the Camogie Association to identify areas/projects of common interest and co-operation for inclusion in the plan.
    6. Explore and identify ways in which the Camogie Association and the GAA can maximise the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for the games of camogie and hurling in supporting the implementation of the plan.
    7. Produce a plan for presentation to Central Council on its findings, recommendations, and a roadmap for implementation.

    The workgroup had its first meeting last Saturday, with Éibhear O'Dea [Limerick], Kieran Farmer- [Fermanagh], Keith Higgins [Mayo], Darragh Cox [Sligo], Joey Carton [Waterford], Kevin Kelly [Derry], Paddy Scales [Offaly] and Ryan Gaffney [Armagh camogie] the other committee members.

    The workgroup has created a survey "to allow all those interested in the game to have a say on how hurling might be grown and developed"
