65th Anniversary Celebrations – Laois Association Dublin, 2025

Having celebrated our 60th Anniversary with a very successful lunch in Croke Park in 2009, it was obvious that a ‘return match’ celebration lunch to mark the 65th anniversary was the way to do it!

Return to Croke Park on 16th May 2014

It was another hugely successful, memorable and enjoyable occasion on the 16th May 2014; made all the more special by the attendance of ‘one of our own’, GAA President, Liam O’Neill. The inaugural Laois Association – Dublin Achievement Award was presented to him to mark the fact that Liam is the first Laois-born person to hold this office.
