Cooney confident of resolving ref pay debate

GAA president Christy Cooney revealed Croke Park bosses will meet with the Revenue Commissioners this week to resolve issues relating to referee expenses.

Cooney, speaking at the launch of the National Hurling and Camogie Development Centre at Carriganore, Waterford, yesterday, also said he has been inundated with letters from parents following violent incidents in high profile games this season.

Referees are anxiously waiting what the Revenue will recommend as they turn their attention to match fees.
