Farrell: GPA seat on Central Council ‘realistic’

GPA Chief Executive Dessie Farrell is confident that his organisation will gain representation on the Central Council despite their continued poor relationship with the GAA.

Since ex-Armagh captain Jarlath Burns ended his term on the Council as the representative of the official players' body set up by former GAA President Sean McCague there has been a stalemate.

Sean Kelly's initial wish for county panels to vote on the formation of a players' body was not realised and despite overtures from both sides, the issue has not been resolved.
