“This site is vibrant and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the ease with which the user can navigate and locate information is testament to the developer and it shines a positive light of GAA activity within the county both through its content and its lay out.”

Monaghan GAA have been using the Lairdesign Club and County GAA WordPress template for the past 3 years. The template has been developed in partnership between Lairdesign and Ulster GAA in order to help Clubs and Counties communicate with their members.

Monaghan GAA would like to acknowledge those who help to keep the website updated throughout the year – namely Chris and Kristina from Lairdesign.
