Stop trying to circumvent rules, urges GAA’s president-elect

GAA President-Elect Liam O’Neill has called on counties and clubs to stop attempting to find ways around the Association’s rules relating to amateurism.

The Laois native has laid his cards on the table and said the practice of trying to circumvent the rule on payments to managers has to end for the sake of the organisation.

O’Neill was speaking in the wake of yesterday’s report in the Irish Examiner that the Tipperary County Board remain hopeful they will be able to appoint senior manager John Evans as the county’s director of football.
