Duffy: grants motion won’t affect amateur status

GAA Director General Paraic Duffy has expressed confidence a Central Council motion on the player grants scheme for next month’s Congress will be in compliance with the Association’s amateur status stance.

Explaining that the document will detail how the scheme works and that it will be ready in time for the Central Council meeting on March 17th, Duffy said it would be a clear motion that will ask Congress to support the grants proposal.

“The motion will ask people to look at the agreement and ask is it in compliance with Rule 11,” he said.
