GAA’s drink link flak ‘unfair and illogical’

THE GAA are not prepared to behave like ‘wimps’ and abandon Guinness’ sponsorship of the hurling championship merely because of the dissatisfaction of Micheal Martin with the partnership, president Sean Kelly declared last night.

Mr Kelly was speaking after the brewery giant announced a further two-year extension to their sponsorship.

"We felt there was no justification at this time to pull the plug, just because a small number of people are not happy with it," he said.
