One Mayo GAA club is set to host a special event in memory of one of their own, John O’Mahony.

The Ballaghaderreen Arts festival presents A life lived on the line, reflecting on the legacy of John O’Mahony and the future of Gaelic Football. 

The event takes place on Friday August 8 in St Nathy’s College Ballaghaderreen in which the well known Marty Morrissey will host. A stellar panel of GAA legends and pundits including Padraic Joyce, Kieran Mc Geeney, Declan Darcy, Martin Carney, Fergal O’Donnell, John Maher, Tommy Rooney, Marc O’Se and David Mc Brien. 

The event is hosted by Ballaghaderreen Arts Festival 2025 along with Ballaghaderreen GAA and builds on the success of last year’s ‘Saving Gaelic Football’ event organised by O’Mahony, where Jim Gavin, All-Ireland winning Dublin manager and Chair of the GAA’s Football Review Group, was interviewed by Seán O’Rourke about the upcoming revolution in the rules of Gaelic Football. Continuing that theme, this year’s event will offer insights from key players, managers and pundits on the Gaelic Football scene on the impact of the new rules and the future of Gaelic Football.

Doors open at 7pm while tickets are available here
