Nealon urges Council to cap inter-county training sessions

MUNSTER GAA secretary Donie Nealon wants Central Council to cap the number of inter-county training sessions in a radical bid to cut costs and help GAA clubs.

Nealon urges Council to cap inter-county training sessions

Mr Nealon will tell next week's annual convention that the €11m spent by county boards last year on inter-county teams expenses proved that many teams had gone over the top in the amount of time and money spent compared to investment in clubs and club championships.

"To bring back some sanity to the situation, it is now time for Central Council to bite the bullet and put a cap on the number per week of county team training sessions, as happened when collective training was banned over 50 years ago because it, too, was getting out of hand," he says.
