Referees to be taken out of retrospection

GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has acknowledged John Bannon’s successful but amended motion to take referees out of the video disciplinary process could heap more pressure on match officials to make the correct decisions.

Bannon’s motion received 89% of delegates’ support on Saturday, far more than the required two-thirds majority after he altered his proposal.

The Legan Sarsfields original motion called for the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to deal with any incidents they believed the referee had either not dealt with sufficiently or seen.
