GPA founder O’Neill says Sky deal ‘changes the landscape’

Gaelic Players Association founder Donal O’Neill predicts the GAA’s entire commercial revenues will grow significantly as a result of bringing Sky Sports into their stable of media partners.

O’Neill also warns RTÉ are “liable to be embarrassed” by the quality of the British company’s resources.

The former commercial director of the GPA, who always maintained pay for play was inevitable in inter-county GAA, also reiterated his belief that players should be rewarded by such lucrative agreements.
