Take a photo of the item and post it in the group with a few details — what it is, the size, condition, and where you can pick up or collect. For example: "Age 7-9 football jersey, excellent condition. Can collect from SuperValu Ballybunion."

When you pick up an item, use it for as long as you need. When it's outgrown or no longer needed, clean it up and post it back on the group for someone else. That's how we keep good gear going — extending the life of every item and making sure nothing ends up in a cupboard or out of use, when it still has life left in it.
Any sports gear in good, clean condition — if it's used for sport or exercise and it's still in good nick, it's welcome.
Anything damaged, stained, or heavily worn. Non-sports items. Items with missing parts.
Absolutely. Take what you need. When you have something to pass on, post it.

We have Package Pick-Up Points at SuperValu Ballybunion, Beale GAA Club, and Ballybunion Leisure Centre. Please use these public locations rather than sharing home addresses.
No problem — post it back on the group for someone else, or return it to the original poster.
Until someone claims them. If unclaimed after a month, the person who posted can remove them.
No — adults are welcome too. If you've got gear you no longer use, someone else probably needs it.
Yes! There's no obligation to take something in return. If you just want to pass things on, that's excellent.
