Murphy, Brendan (2006) GAA club manual for dealing with drug and alcohol related issues. Ireland: GAA/Cumann Luthchleas Gael.

This manual is designed to be a resource for people at all levels of the Gaelic Athletic Association who want to know how to respond to alcohol and drug related problems that may occur at clubs throughout Ireland. The guide contains specific recommendations, such as ending the traditional 'filling the cup' celebrations and phasing out alcohol advertisements on club jerseys and grounds. It also provides advice on using educational programmes to raise awareness of alcohol- and drug-related issues, and on responding to evidence of possible problematic behaviour among club members. The GAA Alcohol and Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) programme emphasises the importance for clubs of developing links with professional drug and alcohol services in their local areas to assist them in the management of alcohol- and drug-related incidents and in the development of appropriate policies. To help with this, the guide contains a county-by-county listing of drug and alcohol services.
