Challenges facing the GAA are all about enforcement
So far, this GAA year seems to be the same as most of the others in recent memory — a flurry of questions being asked in order, it seems, to fill the days until the season proper throws in (apologies, Waterford Crystal; sorry about that, Dr McKenna).
The connectedness of those issues — what’s that movie in the cinemas at present, The Theory of Everything? — can’t be denied. Compressing fixtures puts pressure on the calendar; that increases the chances of burnout; and injuries cost money.
