GPA Official

HISTORY was made on Saturday when the GAA announced official status for the Gaelic Players Association as their official player representative body.

The GPA will now act as the link between the GAA and their inter-county players in all aspects of the relationship between the two.

Welcoming the announcement, GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell said, “Recognition for the players’ association will provide a platform on which the GAA and the GPA can work together to secure a better future for our games and our players.

“This interim arrangement is the culmination of years of hard work on both sides to establish trust and understanding.

“I would like to thank the many people within the GAA and GPA who contributed to that process to date and the players who strived to have their distinctive voice heard within the GAA.”

GAA President Christy Cooney also welcomed the news and said, “This is an important day for the Association and one that I believe will lead to a brand new working relationship with the GPA, a body that has been in existence for the past 10 years.
