Duffy’s enlightening vision

This morning, GAA director general Páraic Duffy delivers his sixth and possibly penultimate annual report.

Speaking two years ago, he said he had no plans to extend his contract beyond February 2015, joking self-deprecatingly that people would have enough of him by that stage.

Heralding his appointment in February 2008, then president Nickey Brennan said the GAA was in “good hands over the next seven years”.
