O’Neill: Merging our structures a seismic shift

GAA president Liam O’Neill has accepted that moves to integrate all aspects of Gaelic games into one organisation would be the end of county boards as we know it.

O’Neill plans to bring a proposal to Congress to open formal negotiations with ladies football and camogie but accepted any move would have knock-on effects on the management structures in place currently around the country.

“Well I suppose there are three separate structures which involves three separate groups of people the whole way down along,” he said of the current systems in place for ladies football, camogie and Gaelic football and hurling.
