“Clann Abán offers members, players, former players, the diaspora and the community at large the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy to the future of Naomh Abán. The benefits of the scheme – totalling €2212 include the inclusion of your, your family’s or a loved one’s name on a decorative roll of honour to be displayed in the reception of the new complex known as Leac Abán.
