Collen is the official sponsor of Hell for Leather: The Story of Gaelic Football

Collen is the official sponsor of Hell for Leather: The Story of Gaelic Football, a groundbreaking documentary that explores the rich history, cultural significance, and enduring spirit of Ireland’s national sport.

The series launch took place this week in the Irish Film Institute and our CEO Kara Stuart shared her thoughts on the series and our sponsorship:

“At Collen, we believe in building strong foundations, whether it’s through the physical structures we create or the communities we serve. Our people, working together, make us the business we are today. The GAA, at its core, is about building those same foundations – foundations of passion, pride and unity that bring people together regardless of background, under a common purpose and sense of belonging. For over a century the GAA has been a vital force in community identity especially in rural parts of Ireland. Collen, celebrating 215 years in business, is proud to stand with another long-established organisation, to support the telling of these stories that will resonate with so many with a reach that extends far beyond the island of Ireland”

The series will premiere on RTÉ One on Monday, June 9th. It offers a unique and in-depth look at the evolution of Gaelic football from its grassroots origins to its iconic status today.
