There’s been plenty of coverage for a big meeting of around 400 people in Antrim last night to raise their concerns about the grants being awarded to GAA players.
At the end of the meeting there was unanimous support for the following resolutions:
1. There must be no change (other than properly mandated via Congress) to the GAA’s amateur status as presented in its Rule 11: the current proposals fly in the face of that amateur status and Rule 11
2. The discussion of the current proposals planned for the forthcoming Management and Central Council meetings should be deferred
3. A full and proper discussion of these issues should take place across the GAA
4. Those present would proceed to use their own Club and County channels to voice their opposition to the current proposals.
Finally, the clear consensus was that should the current proposals be approved before a proper consultation with the membership is carried out, then a further meeting would be called to again gauge opinion.
The group have set up a website -
