GAA will soon officially recognise GPA, predicts Kelly

FORMER GAA President Seán Kelly believes the GAA will grant the Gaelic Players Association official recognition in the near future.

The two groups have been locked in talks with the recognition issue along with the matter of Government grants topping the agenda.

In his weekly column with the Irish Examiner, Kelly said the GAA are keen to develop relations with the GPA given the increasing number of player stand-offs.
