The GAA has launched details of an exciting new programme called Purchase Power which has been designed to secure special, competitive rates for an extensive range of products and services for the benefit of GAA Clubs.

GAA President Aogán Ó Fearghail was in Croke Park today to outline details of the new initiative which has seen the GAA, in conjunction with Achilles Supply Line, produce an initial list of products and services now offering exclusive deals for GAA Clubs, Counties and Provinces.

The GAA's Purchase Power programme means Clubs can price products and services using the Achilles Supply Line platform.

Clubs are still free to operate with their existing providers, but the key behind Purchase Power is the ability of the GAA to represent 1600 Clubs nationwide to secure the best rates possible.

Ó Fearghail said: "I am delighted to formally launch the Purchase Power programme - an initiative which has been specifically designed with our Clubs in mind.

"The Club is the single most important unit of the Association. Our network of Clubs and our reach into every locality is what defines us.

"It is important for us to support our Clubs in every way we can and this Purchase Power initiative is a way for the GAA, through the collective strength of our army of Clubs, to be able to do just that by negotiating and securing the best deals possible for a range of products and services.

"Ní neart go cur le cheile goes the seanfhocail. There is no strength without unity. Purchase Power enables the GAA to harness the support of all of our Clubs for the greater good of the Association. We play as a team and now we are looking to buy as a team too."

GAA Clubs are currently being contacted with the details on how they can access and avail of the exclusive rates available through the Purchase Power programme and information can also be found on www.gaa.ie
