 As a first-time person here I have to say this is absolutely phenomenal from the moment that you arrive and you see all the GAA jerseys around you, you see the thai dance on the first night, you see a thousand people descending here, you see people playing all day in this 35 degree heat, it's absolutely phenomenal and it's something that every person Irish and other I should really really see. What are the lessons you're learning from your own particular background in business? Many hands make light work and I have to say even though the work isn't light there's been many many hands involved in this from the local hosts from the Asian County Board themselves but also all of the individual coaches that have been lining up all week and all month and all year for this as well as the individual players themselves and as well as the delegation that has come across from Ireland so I think what I'm learning from this is just just how many people are involved in this but what's really striking me as well is that at home the Asian County Board in the Asian or in GAA deserves so much more recognition for what they do because it's phenomenal to get this 23 years in a row 36 countries here this time 45-55 female male gender balance and so on it's really phenomenal achievement and it's something that I'm going to take back is to is to tell everybody at home what they're doing and the third thing is is that there's an awful lot of parallels between business and sport everyone is trying to work together towards a common goal a shared passion and the teamwork the communication and just the sheer amount of hard work that goes into this it's absolutely inspirational and I'm I'm going back to Ireland just speechless I have to say and that's something that's really said about me Jerome well if I gave you a job when you were back to Ireland has been in charge of the GAA and promoting it worldwide what would you do from the lessons that you've learned here what would be the next step working all this go what is the potential how could it be realized what I think would be really interesting to do is to actually bring the individual clubs around Asia and sit them down and ask them what really works to them and what doesn't and I would ask them what are they doing that's really working and what particular help do they need with the view to solely facilitating people to share their own knowledge share their own best practices but particularly share their experience I think that's something that was really certainly a lot of that was done on Thursday at the club day because it was really great to see clubs from all over discuss things like rules the proposed rule changes diversity networking course in the Gwelda and so on like that and I think certainly I think that there was a lot of benefit came from that but I think that there's that there's an awful lot more so what I would say is that there's an awful lot that the individual clubs have to share share that with the other clubs around the world and with the other boards around the world feeding that back in Ireland and I think there's really something special going on here and I'm so so happy that I've got a chance to witness it at least for the first time when I'd be back and most of all as an Irish person does it do your heart good it does my heart amazingly good to be here just to see the sheer amount of Irishness that's packed in whether it's the sport the culture the people the music the crack and it's really great but do know what else I'm really delighted by is to see the number of non-Irish people that are here just shows how much of an inclusive nation we've become and how much that you know we do love the world and we're grateful to say that the world loves us and it's great to be here it's great to be here as somebody that's traveled over but to meet so many Irish people I met someone from my primary and secondary school here during the week and you hear stories like that throughout but it's so great to see all the difference all the cultures here but it does my heart amazingly good and that's what I mean is that everyone should get here at least once
