Individual Details
Thomas (Tom) WOULFE
(1915 - 2015)
Tom was a civil servant in the Department of Justice. He was very involved in the GAA
(Gaelic Athletic Association) and was a founder member of the Civil Service GAA club. His obituary in The Irish Times tells us "...it was for his campaigning work that he was best known. With his club, Woulfe drove the early attempts to repeal the GAA’s controversial rule prohibiting members from playing and attending rival sports - soccer, rugby, hockey and cricket - the notorious ‘ban on foreign games’. 'Rule 27' was eventually removed in 1971.
Tom died at the age of 99.
