What a Cúl idea!

A pilot project is being rolled out across Cork to make popular GAA summer camps accessible to a larger number of children, including those with additional needs.

The project will look to bring inclusive Kelloggs Cúl Camps to more children with intellectual, physical, and sensory disabilities, and autism in the Rebel County next year.

Welcoming the pilot project was Cork North West Fine Gael TD John Paul O’Shea who described the camps as a clear example of community spirit.

Deputy O’Shea said: “Camps and new activities with friends are an integral part of the summer for so many children, providing them with unforgettable summer memories while nurturing their passion for Gaelic games, and we want all children to have the opportunity to participate.

“It’s great to see that this will be extended to all regions in 2026 so that more children with disabilities will have an opportunity to participate in the Inclusive Cúl Camps throughout the country.

“I hope all children involved have a great, fun filled experience and look forward to seeing this rolled out further across the country.”

He concluded: “It’s so important that children with disabilities can live full lives in their communities and they should be afforded the opportunity to benefit from sports participation in their own area.
