Dublin GAA and sponsors AIG have announced hurler Abood Al Jumaili, aka Bonnar Ó Loinsigh, as their first ever Diversity and Inclusion Ambassador.
The Ballinteer St John’s clubman has taken up the new role to help the organisation spread Gaelic games across all of Dublin’s minority and religious communities.
Al Jumaili, who moved to Ballinteer from Iraq as a child and fell in love with the hurl and sliotar, has chosen the slogan ‘Stronger Together’ (‘maean ‘aqwaa’ in Arabic) to spearhead the new campaign.
