Oppose Ulster GAA’s cashless policy: unethical, impractical and discriminatory


Oppose Ulster GAA’s cashless policy: unethical, impractical and discriminatory
The Issue
The GAA is a community, grass-roots organisation and as such, it should ensure that everyone has access to our games. Many people rely on the use of cash for a variety of valid reasons and it is legal tender. To enforce a cashless policy will inhibit and deny access; cause offence and place both volunteers and attendees in an unenviable and unfair situation. This policy will have a disproportionate impact on some of the most vulnerable in our community. It has been imposed without any consultation or consideration of its potential impact on accessibility. This policy contravenes the community ethos of the GAA and life-long volunteers, supporters and patrons of the GAA are encouraged to sign this petition to bring an immediate end to this senseless and unfair policy. This petition will go to the Chairperson of Ulster GAA. The GAA must review this policy at all levels and ensure that everyone, particularly the most vulnerable, has access to our games. Ní neart go cur le chéile!
