GAA President Nickey Brennan has welcomed the DRA's judgement, released last night, which supports the introduction of Government grants for inter-county players.

The GAA's Dispute's Resolution Authority (DRA) last night released a decision on the 'Of One Belief' versus the Central Council Anti-grants issue.

Hot on the heels of the criticism by GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell of anti-grants body 'Of One Belief' come the comments of GAA PRO Danny Lynch, who has also hit out at the "grassroots" group.

A war of words has developed between the Gaelic Players Association and the 'Of One Belief' group, after GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell branded the anti-grants body a bunch of hypocrites in a Sunday newspaper article.

GAA Presidential candidate and outgoing Leinster Council Chairman Liam O’Neill has tonight backed the ‘Of One Belief’ anti-grants group and stated that a culture of jealousy must be avoid within the association.

The revised document on Government Grants to GAA players does not contravene the GAA's Amateur status according to new Árd Stiurthoir Pauric Duffy.

OF One Belief, the group opposed to grants to inter-county players, have expressed concerns about the timeframe left to debate the matter ahead of April’s annual GAA Congress.

The GAA's Disputes Resolution Authority decided to adjourn the case taken by Mark Conway and an Omagh solicitors' firm on behalf of the 'Of One Belief' group after a meeting at a the Radisson Hotel at Dublin Airport last night.
