IRISH community and cultural organisations have spoken out strongly against organised attacks against immigrant communities in Scotland, and against fascist-style assemblies which have taken place in both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

FROM the mills of the 19th century to the playing fields of today’s Gaelic games, Dundee’s Irish story is one of resilience, cultural exchange, and enduring community spirit. Far from being a relic of the past, Irish influence in the city is not only remembered—it is being actively revived.

A GREAT day’s play of handball was had recently at Broughton High School in Edinburgh, with some brilliant skills on display too. The fifth code of the GAA is fast-paced, fun and strategic and the event buzzed with excitement. There was immense enjoyment on the day for those playing for the first time as youngsters or as more experienced novices with the skill challenges. In the Men’s Open, Willie Quaile of Coolboy Handball Club defeated Thomas McCurtains’ Fionn Ó Súilleabhái

A NEW football club with Irish roots is beginning its journey in Glasgow, bringing together community, culture and sport under one identity.

THERE are league victories, and then there are championship-winning performances. Tír Conaill Harps produced the latter recemtly as they successfully defended their league crown, overcoming Dunedin Connollys with a superb display of attacking football to secure back-to-back league titles.

DUNEDIN Connollys retained their Men’s Senior League title following a dramatic one-point victory over Glasgow Gaels in a tightly contested final at Peterson Park in Yoker.

PRESIDENT Catherine Connolly made her first visit to Britain as she met with Irish community groups from across the country and was welcomed by King Charles in London.

A RESTRUCTURING of games has meant that Ceann Creige’s camógs and hurlers have had limited competitive matches to date.

DUNEDIN Connollys and Tír Conaill Harps will be looking to make it two-in-a-row in their respective Senior and Intermediate League Finals, with both teams having been the stand-out performers in their competitions.

NEARLY three decades after a young Kilkenny student decided to start a Gaelic Football Club in Glasgow, generations of players, alumni, family and friends gathered to celebrate the remarkable legacy that decision created.

AT THE recent civic St Patrick’s Day Festival Parade in Glasgow, there was a familiar face among all the flags being held aloft.

THE Gaelic Football season is now well underway in Scotland and there are some familiar patterns beginning to emerge even in these early stages.

MARCH 2026 at Soccerworld, Old Glamis Road, Dundee will live long in the memory of those who are associated with the GAA on the East Coast of Scotland with a celebration of the most significant milestones since the founding of the Dalriada GFC on January 28 1990—a milestone on a par with the enthusiasm of the 58 children who participated and registered with the newest youth GAA Club in Scotland.

DUNEDIN Connollys recently welcomed Dublin side Naomh Mearnóg to Edinburgh for a valuable challenge match, as preparations began ahead of the league campaign.

AS CEANN Creige enters its seventh year as Scotland’s only hurling and camogie club, there is lots to look forward to and lots to reflect on.

AS PAUL Brady once sang: “It’s nothing but the same old story.” And lately that line feels painfully accurate.

FOR those involved with Men’s Gaelic football at the University of Glasgow, the 2026 season will live long in the memory.

FOR those of involved with Tír Conaill Harps GAA Club, it has always been about more than football. Since the club’s foundation in 1994, its members have worked to build something that reflects the very best of community sport—a club where young people thrive, families feel welcome and culture, wellbeing and connection sit alongside competition. Three decades on, the Harps remain a living, growing expression of that original vision.
