The founding principle of the GAA has been increasingly neglected
Last Saturday, shortly after 4pm, the GAA Communications Department sent out a press release setting out ‘details on decisions taken at a meeting of the GAA’s Central Council in Croke Park today.’ The decisions alluded to in the press release were ones made by Central Council in respect of the abandonment of the ‘three handpasses rule’ and of the increase in admission fees to matches, writes
