Are you in Ireland?

I think you will need some kind of class; there are some online. You will also need to listen to as much as you can. I suggest you listen to Radio na Gaeltachta as much as possible.

I would suggest since GAA is your spare time to find an Irish teacher who will teach you in the clubhouse say one night a week before training just an idea also maybe you could get a retired teacher who'd teach you at lunchtime one day a week!

Well, there's always Rosetta Stone if you have the money (time investment is about 20 minutes a day), but it sounds like you have access to real live speakers...they're the best resource there is.
