As part of the Cork GAA Strategic Planning process (2016-2018) currently underway, a working group on "Games" has been established with a view to formulating proposals aimed at maximising participation in our games and optimising playing standards at all age levels. 

The membership of this group is as follows: Conor Counihan, John Allen, Alan Quirke, Tom Kenny, Jim Woulfe, John Considine, Brian Cuthbert, Tracey Kennedy, County Vice-chairman and Kevin O’Donovan, County Coaching Officer. As part of its research, the working group will host a number of consultation meetings on competition structures, coaching and related issues. Meetings have already been held with officers from Rebel Óg, Sciath Na Scol, Cork PPS, Referees body, Development Squad Managers, County Coaching Committee and Rebel Óg Coaching GDAs.
