Kettle admits Blue Wave strategy will be ‘hard sell’ for Dubs

Dublin chairman Andy Kettle has revealed his board will be putting forward motions to Congress next year calling for the county to be given provincial status in terms of funding and administration.

As part of the Blue Wave strategic plan 2011-2017 released last November, Dublin GAA chiefs set out the goals to be achieved by the middle of this year.

However, Kettle admitted they have yet to lobby other counties about their ambitious proposals, one of which would see the county chairman given a permanent place on the GAA’s Management Committee.
