AFFILIATION

It is 120 years since Terenure College first became affiliated to the GAA - Dublin City and County. In 1885 we were the only school affiliated along with six Clubs: Faughs, Davitts, Metropolitans, Dunleary, Dalkey and the All-Ireland Hurling Club.

The following quote is the resolution of the students and staff establishing a GAA Club in Terenure College in 1885:

"That believing it to be one of the functions of educational establishments to provide for the physical, no less than the moral and intellectual training of the rising generation of Irishmen, in accordance with the instincts and traditions of their ancient race, we hereby form ourselves into a branch of the GAA to be called Terenure College Branch of the GAA."

- Dublin County Board, Official Brochure (1934), p26.
