Tax exemptions for GAA stars on the cards

Tax exemptions for GAA players and other sports-people have been mooted by newly promoted minister of state for tourism and sports Brendan Griffin.

The Kerry TD also says a reduction in charges or costs for tourists coming from Britain is being explored to help Brexit-hit holidaymakers.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, he said he would like to see well-known diaspora figures made sports ambassadors to encourage visitors to come here.
