Duffy: Still no progress on illegal payments

AN exasperated GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has admitted he doesn’t know what will come of his discussion paper on forbidden payments to managers.

GAA President Christy Cooney last week revealed that the document, which has been circulated among members of the Association’s Management Committee (Coiste Bainisti), may never be published or acted upon.

Duffy himself is unsure if anything will come of the work he has done to address a fundamental issue striking at the heart of the GAA’s amateur ethos.
