episode EirGrid looking for GAA Community Heroes cover

Description

EirGrid, the operator and developer of Ireland’s electricity grid, have also been the main sponsors of our Club Stars awards for the last two years. Recently, EirGrid also launched the second year of their GAA Community Heroes National Volunteer competition. And with the deadline for entries coming up this Sunday night, we wanted to remind our MFT listeners why you (or somebody you know) should get involved. The four provincial winners’ designated clubs will each receive €5,000, while there will be awards of €1,500 to the clubs of the honourable mentions. An overall national winner will be selected from the provincial winners, and their club will receive an additional €5,000, for a total award of €10,000.  So there are plenty of good reasons for you to get involved over the next couple of days, and get your entry in before midnight this Sunday, May 17th. Ciara Galvin, who is the Media Lead with EirGrid, joined Mike to chat a bit more about the competition and to explain how people can enter to be in the running for some great prizes.

Chatting with Mayo GAA's CEO

The focus this week may be mainly on the senior footballers' exploits, but there is still plenty of work to be done behind the scenes by Ruairí Conroy, the newly-appointed CEO of Mayo GAA.  The Tourmakeady native chats to Mike about why he took on the role, what his first priorities are, and what he would define as a success as Mayo GAA's first CEO.  Ruairí also outlines the remit of his position, how he intends to approach the mammoth task of building a Mayo GAA Centre of Excellence, and why he believes that clubs and volunteers must be at the foundation of everything he intends to do.  Of course, over the coming days we’ll be building up to the big match across all our MFT platforms — with podcasts, columns and news articles.  We’ll be starting with a chat with Billy Joe Padden on Tuesday as we get ready for Mayo’s biggest game of the year – so far!
