Duffy lauds Murphy’s ‘huge contribution’

GAA director general Páraic Duffy yesterday paid tribute to Frank Murphy’s contribution to the GAA and added that it would continue for some time yet despite his planned retirement.

“He has clearly made a huge contribution to the GAA in Cork and I would like to acknowledge his huge contribution to the GAA nationally,” said Duffy. “He is the chairman of our Rules Advisory Group and had a major part to play in the re-writing in the current rule book.

“I’m sure he will continue to play a part at local and national level for a period of time and he has just started a three-year term as the Rules Advisory Group chairman and is a member of our stadium executive.
