Though Irish diaspora populations have been playing Gaelic Sports for over 150 years in cities around the globe, it wasn’t until last Saturday, November 15, in Toulouse, France, that the sports run by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) in Ireland, began to truly find their international feet with mostly all French and Italian players in action.
