CLG Na Piarsaigh is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in County Galway. The club takes its name from the Irish revolutionaries Pádraic and Willie Pearse. Pádraic Pearse had a cottage in the area which over looks the club grounds. The club's crest includes the cottage and a swallow. The swallow is taken for the short story he wrote set in Ros Muc called Eoghainín na nÉan.[citation needed]
