Built by Volunteers: Carol Devaney

“I volunteer because Portlaoise GAA brings local people together through sport. Assisting with training and weekend matches allows me to give back to the community. It is a rewarding way to support young players and stay connected with the club.”

Carol Devaney – U9 Coach

As part of National Volunteer Week, we will be highlighting some of the incredible volunteers who help make Portlaoise GAA what it is.

Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing stories from people across the club and hearing in their own words why they volunteer, what the club means to them, and the role community plays in The Town.

From coaches and mentors to committee members, organisers, supporters and helpers behind the scenes, our club simply would not function without the time, energy and dedication of volunteers.

We look forward to shining a light on the people who continue to give so much to Portlaoise GAA.
