Quinn hits out at grants for players

FORMER GAA president Peter Quinn has voiced his opposition to the proposal to award grants to inter-county players, claiming they are well-taken care of already.

Quinn, who played a handful of games for Fermanagh, said that his one regret was that he didn’t get to turn out more for his native county and added that he would have “paid to get playing for the county team instead of asking to be paid for it”.

While pointing out that he did not know the ins and outs on the issue, he made it clear that he was against the principal that players should receive financial recompense.
