Farrell takes Geraghty to task over GPA claims

GPA CHIEF executive Dessie Farrell has refuted claims made by Graham Geraghty that the players’ body took four years to make an approach to the Meath footballers.

In his autobiography, to be launched tonight in Athboy, Geraghty is critical of the GPA. But according to Farrell, the Meath team “received more representations than any other panel in the country”, before finally agreeing to join the players’ body last month.

“Overall, their lack of consultation is very unprofessional,” Geraghty said. “Maybe they genuinely overlooked us, but it all seems rather bizarre.”
