Kelly admits decision could improve funding

THE GAA has dramatically improved its chances of further Government funding with the Congress’ decision to temporarily set Rule 42 aside, according to president, Sean Kelly.

The Association has already benefited to the tune of €109 million in the redevelopment of headquarters.

Asked if the motion to waive Rule 42 during the closure of Lansdowne Road was a bargaining chip with the Government, Kelly responded by claiming that was not a motivating factor in the decision.
