Civil War Impact on GAA
- GAA activity in Munster and Connacht came to a virtual halt as a result of the civil war.
- Clare's anti-treaty county secretary Pat Hennessy and fellow GAA activist Con MacMahon were executed by Free State forces in January 1923. For a two year period afterwards, Clare had a pro and an anti-treaty County Committee.
- When a truce was declared in 1923, the GAA helped to bridge the divide.
- In Kerry, a match was organised to assist in the selection of the county team between pro-treaty players and anti-treaty players in 1924. John Joe Sheehy, an anti-treaty Republican, and Con Brosnan, a army captain in the pro-treaty forces, came together to represent the county football team. Kerry's united team competed in the All-Ireland football final in 1924
