It's from a man called Kevin O'Shaughnessy, apparently he's employed by Dublin GAA. He says - The coaches work very much in tune with what the particular club wants. They are all trained to Hetac Level 7 under an NUIG programme. It is a high standard that allows them to train the trainers in each club to a high quality. I think he's talking about the gdo's. It depends on what the club wants according to him. This would make sense as they are paying his wages. They train the trainers, what does this mean? They train other coaches? This would have a big impact on a club wouldn't it?

It doesn't say anything about each club getting a coach on 45 thousand a year. It begun last year, when did Dublin get these gdo's? From what I've read, it seems like it was a good few years ago.

I quickly googled and found thishttps://www.gaa.ie/my-gaa/administrators/games-development-personnel (Not really sure how you missed it) It has lots of detailed attachments too. This ones 2015: not really inclined to do all your googling for you but alongside the turas link it seems to indicate the GAA have a pretty well thought out and flexible strategy for games development (as opposed to some pro dublin agenda)
SelmaHayek wrote: » So the Turas programme isn't really up to much. Isn't it well known that every county has these gda's or whatever they're calling them? Does every club have them though? From my searches, it seems Dublin have up near 100 of them. How many do other counties have? Maybe it's on population? I'll do some searching.
tritium wrote: » Turas sounds like a really positive thing to me tbh. Targeted use of resources to maximize benefit. It also seems to show an agility in their strategic planning that the GAA are often accused of lacking. I know some people think dublin is full of professional coaches driving gold plated ferraris to the large conference centre they booked to accommodate their vast numbers but tbh budgeting and strategic planning don’t generally work that way... By all means do some searching though- it saves the rest of us doing it for you. There are plenty of attachments in the link I gave on GAA games development also

It is clear that from this point, dublin have another layer of high performance coaching that others just dont get and that this is the relevant point to the discussion - not mystery men but full time coaches that are referenced often by the gaa. We can see that this has helped them massively, all you have to do is look at the quality of player they started producing post investment and compare it to the level of player they produced pre-investment for this to become very clear. .
