Carey wants GPA on Central Council

HURLING legend D.J. Carey is calling on the GAA leadership to give official representation to the GPA on the Central Council.

Elected as president of the association at their AGM, Carey believes that a move to select a replacement to Jarlath Burns would be akin to rubbing the noses of the players in the ground.

Denying that the GPA was pushing for professionalism, he didn't dispute that they are seeking a weekly allowance.
