Report on pay for managers finally goes before Croker

AN AMENDED version of GAA Director General Páraic Duffy’s discussion paper on payments to managers was last night presented to the Coiste Bainisti (management committee) in Croke Park.

Duffy’s new draft of the document could now be released 14 months after the original was first circulated privately among committee members.

At last year’s Congress in April, GAA President Christy Cooney, terming payments to managers as “a cancer running through our organisation”, said he intended staging a discussion forum within two months, where the paper would be released.
