- Thomas_St_George_McCarthy abstract "Thomas St. George MacCarthy (1862–1943) was an Ireland rugby union international and founder member of the Gaelic Athletic Association, being present at Hayes Hotel, Thurles, County Tipperary, Ireland at the Association's inaugural meeting on 1 November 1884.He was born at Bansha, Tipperary, though he was often erroneously described as being a native of Kerry. This was due to the similarity of name with his father, George MacCarthy (1832–1902), Lieutenant of the Revenue Police, County Inspector of the RIC and a Resident Magistrate who was from County Kerry, though working in Tipperary and residing in Bansha. The family used the rarer MacCarthy spelling of their surname, which appears more commonly as McCarthy.At the foundation of the GAA, MacCarthy was a District Inspector of the Royal Irish Constabulary based at Templemore, County Tipperary. He moved to Dublin in 1877 and became a friend of Michael Cusack, who had a cramming school. He was coached by Cusack for an RIC cadetship examination in 1882, in which he took first place. In 1881, he joined Dublin University Football Club and was capped against Wales in 1882. Later in 1882, he was a member of the Dublin University team which won the Leinster Senior Cup, the inaugural year of this competition. He also played soccer for Limavady FC when he was stationed in the town in 1889, captaining the club in 1889His involvement in the GAA is notable because in a later period there would be a ban for many years in the GAA on people who played rugby and soccer joining the Association and this ban also applied to members of the British police and armed forces.He had a great love of the game of hurling, which he witnessed being played in his native village by the local enthusiasts who were later to form the Galtee Rovers GAA Hurling and Football club. He was a regular attender at matches in Croke Park to where he travelled from his home at Oakley Road in the Dublin suburb of Ranelagh. He died in 1943 and was buried without fanfare in an unmarked grave in Deansgrange Cemetery, Dublin, though there is a family plot in the old graveyard at Bansha village, where his sister, Kathleen MacCarthy, is interred. Unlike, the other six founding members of the GAA, very little has been done to commemorate MacCarthy - presumably due to his position as a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary. However, plans are in train to redress this injustice and as a first step, the GAA authorities have erected a commemorative gravestone at Deansgrange where it was unveiled on Wednesday, 18 November 2009, as part of the "Re-dedication of Founder's Graves" programme to mark the 125th Anniversary of the founding of the GAA, and there have also been calls for more recognition of his contribution to the GAA.The two police forces in Ireland, the Garda Síochána and the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have already honoured him by presenting The Thomas St. George MacCarthy Cup for competition by members of the Garda GAA (Garda Thirds) and the Police Service of Northern Ireland".
