We’re proud to share that Westerns GFC, based in Reaghstown, County Louth, has joined the growing number of GAA clubs across Ireland investing in SafeShel — a rapidly deployable, weatherproof, emergency privacy shelter designed to protect player welfare when it matters most.
Why SafeShel Is a Valuable Asset for GAA Clubs
GAA matches are high-paced, physical, and played in open environments — often with large crowds and minimal cover. When an injury or emergency occurs, having a private, protected space to treat a player can make all the difference. SafeShel supports clubs by:
- Inflating in under 15 seconds via manual pump or COâ‚‚ canister.
- Creating a discreet, enclosed space to shield players from public view and cameras.
- Providing protection from weather during treatment, helping to prevent further distress or hypothermia.
- Supporting medical teams with our six access entry points, while maintaining privacy and focus.
Supporting Westerns GFC with Delivery and Demo
We were delighted to personally deliver the SafeShel unit to Westerns GFC and spend time with the club’s coaches and members to walk through a live demo of how SafeShel is deployed and repacked. We also captured some great content with the team on-site — showcasing the shelter in use and how seamlessly it integrates into any club’s emergency response protocol.
A huge thank-you to the team at Westerns GFC for the warm welcome and for prioritising player welfare with this proactive step forward.
Every GAA Club Deserves the Protection of SafeShel
From county teams to local clubs, SafeShel is quickly becoming an essential part of injury management and pitch-side readiness across Gaelic games. Whether responding to serious injuries, providing on-site treatment, or waiting for medical support, SafeShel ensures dignity, privacy, and calm at every level of the game..
