Irish business and government support Gaelic football's Asian growth

Rooster it is correct that GAA clubs first priority has been to expats and maintaining Irish culture. But something has changed in a few clubs - the mainland Chinese ones - in the last couple of years. This report from Beijing GAA

http://www.beijinggaa.net/

suggests the game is taking off with Chinese locals. The comments by a GAA official that some of the best players are as good as any in Ireland would seem to be referring to chinese nationals.

Obviously the Games attract a lot of expats from everywhere - there were 22 nationalities present on the field in the Beijing Games. - No longer just a bunch of paddys "kikn 'rownd ahn O'Neills".
