GAA is well connected

THE GAA yesterday went head to head with the Gaelic Players Association in launching their own telecom partnership deal at Croke Park.

The new Gaelic Telecom deal is designed to provide fixed line telephone services to GAA members and supporters both residential and business at lower prices than those offered by eircom.

The deal is notably similar to the GPA's ClubTel initiative, which was unveiled in Dublin last month. Both agreements involve the promotion the package through GAA clubs in the 32 counties and both provide for 10% of their members' bills going directly back to the members' clubs.
