Players' alcohol consumption now much lower: McCague

CONSUMPTION of alcohol among inter-county players in the GAA has decreased considerably, according to association president Sean McCague.

Mr McCague made the assertion at the weekend meeting of Central Council where the issue of the Guinness sponsorship of the hurling championship was questioned.

And, he went further by hinting that an investigation of all types of abuse drink and drug-related by a committee comprising mainly of medical doctors would be favourable towards the membership.
