Nuair a shéideann an Gála - "When The Wind Blows"
TG4, This evening at 8:00pm (Monday 2nd September)
In January 2013, a GPA-led team of current and former stars of Gaelic games travelled to New York's Breezy Point with the support of Aer Lingus to help with the reconstruction of that unique Irish-American community in the wake of the devastation inflicted on the area by Superstorm Sandy.
This project was inspired by a visit to the Rockaways Peninsula by a group of GAA/GPA All-Stars shortly after the storm. The players, in New York for a Gaelic Players Association function and an exhibition game, were invited out to Breezy Point to help lift the spirits of the people. On leaving, the group vowed to return and help in a meaningful way. With the help of Aer Lingus, that promise was fulfilled.
