Farrell hopeful GPA will get formal GAA recognition

GPA chief executive Dessie Farrell is hopeful his organisation can soon achieve formal recognition from the GAA.

In what was a relatively low-key president’s address at Congress last weekend, Sean Kelly said the GAA was now in a position to sit down with the GPA “and either decide to ignore them, tolerate them or recognise them.”

Farrell yesterday expressed confidence that an agreement can be reached.
