Joe Brolly dubious about potential run at GAA presidency

Joe Brolly has been asked to consider running for the GAA presidency in the future — but is sceptical about being straight-jacketed in the role.

Following his kidney donation to a fellow club member in October 2012, the Derry man’s stances on a variety of topics such as the black card, payments to managers, Sky Sports and most recently player welfare have commanded widespread coverage.

His Opt For Life organ donation drive on both sides of the border has been fully endorsed by the GAA, one of a number of factors leading observers to suggest he is a viable presidential candidate in the coming years.
