History[]
The club was founded in 1951 and was known as Rialto Gaels at that time.
In the 70s & 80s the name was changed to "SS Michaels & James" as St Michael's CBS & St James's CBS were the two schools which most of the club members originated from.
Their colours at the time were Maroon & white (no blue). Two of the mentors who were the driving force at the time were Brian Greg & Sean Fox.
The change of name to Liffey Gaels came in the early 80s.
The club has adult football, hurling and camogie teams and underage teams at various levels.
On the 4th of March 2016, the club announced that it would be merging with neighbours Good Counsel for their upcoming Adult Hurling campaign[1] and would be playing under the name "Counsel Gaels".
The club played its last match under the Liffey Gaels name versus St Vincents on the 11th of November 2018.[2]
