County Down GAA club embraces group of Ghanaian fishermen in community

The men who are from Ghana have been working on fishing boats out of Ardglass Harbour for the last year. Now they're learning new skills with Ardglass Gaelic Athletic Club.

Club Secretary Ruth Curran said they were originally contacted about using the club's facilities in January but when Covid-19 struck they tried to reach out in other ways. Senior Football Manager Paul O'Shea said they wanted to help out in any way they could with simple things like getting their clothes washed.

Edward said it can be very stressful living on the boats especially since their facilities were closed during the pandemic.
