Duffy vows to address illegal pay controversy

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has vowed to address the thorny issue of illegal payments to club and inter-county managers at the Association’s annual Congress in Down next month.

Duffy was reacting to yesterday’s TV3 news investigation which revealed five counties admitted to having paid an inter-county manager more than legitimate expenses.

The report also revealed two other counties declared they would have no problem with third party donations to fund a manager, while 21 of the 32 counties admitted some managers are being paid.
