Welcome for alcohol task force proposals

THE recommendations of the GAA task force on Alcohol and Substance Abuse have been broadly welcomed across the Association.

Players, past and present, along with officials admit the GAA must quickly take a leading role in a campaign against such abuses in Irish society.

Former Tipperary hurler and addiction counsellor John Leahy believes that the proposals will help change the attitudes held by many in the GAA towards the dangers of alcohol in particular.
