• Concussion is an issue that affects all sports and it is important that everyone involved in Gaelic Games recognises the symptoms of concussion and removes from playing or training any player with clear or suspected symptoms.
• The key message is – Recognise & Remove. Recognise the symptoms of concussion and permanently remove a player displaying any of those symptoms from the game or training session.
• Below you will be able to access a suite of resources, some targeted at medical personnel and others at those without medical training, which should be utilised by everyone involved in Gaelic Games – players, parents/guardians, coaches, administrators, referees and medics to ensure the welfare of all players at all levels of our games.
• Additional information is available via https://learning.gaa.ie/concussion

Please remind all your players, coaches, parents and any other officers of the Concussion Guidelines for your sport which are available on the association websites via the links below. Note the Code-Specific Guidelines set out.
