GAA to launch user-friendly disciplinary system

THE GAA is to launch a comprehensive, accurate and user-friendly disciplinary system which president Sean Kelly believes will stand the test of time.

It aims to close off loopholes which have allowed numerous suspensions for ill-discipline, most notably the disgraceful NFL tie between Tyrone and Dublin, to be lifted on appeal.

Speaking at a media briefing in Croke Park, where the interim report of the Rule Book Task Force was outlined, Mr Kelly predicted that the failure of this year's high profile Omagh investigations would represent 'the last great escape' for offending players.
