Club/county taskforce will get better deal for all, says McGarty

GPA national development officer Dara McGarty has welcomed the establishment of a club/county taskforce by the GAA, which he believes will get a better deal for all concerned.

“It’s great to see the GAA doing this under the leadership of Liam O’Neill,” McGarty enthused. “It will make county board and player relationships better and it will hopefully make club and county relationships better also, which can only benefit the club, county and ultimately the player. I am certainly happy to be involved in the taskforce.”

The former Sligo footballer is on the taskforce and is already seeing improvements in various counties in relation to streamlining of issues such as fixtures between clubs and county boards.
