GPA hope to break deadlock over RTÉ interviews

THE Gaelic Players Association is confident that the deadlock with RTÉ over player interviews will finally be broken today after a week of protracted and complicated discussions.

Both parties have called in teams of lawyers to examine the EU’s surreptitious advertising law in the hope that an interpretation of the legislation can be agreed upon which would allow RTÉ to relax their enforcement of the ban.

After a number of weeks with little or no communication on the issue, Montrose officials finally met the GPA face to face on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
