Deal: 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. Uachtarán CLG Aogán Ó Fearghail outlined 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. 

Achilles Supply Line is one of the world's leading product and service procurement agencies with more than 5,500 services available through them. After a lengthy tender process the following products and services have been unveiled in the GAA's Purchase Power programme as nominated providers. Electric Ireland, Darcy Sand -pitch sand, Gold Crop & Castle Paint -pitch line marking, Colorman & Custodian Print -printing services, Finning & MW Hire -generators, Evros -IT systems.
