Existing rule to be used to tackle ‘Nash motion’

A concern about the ‘Anthony Nash motion’ failing to receive the necessary two-thirds majority support was the reason it was removed from the Clár of Congress on Friday.

GAA director general Páraic Duffy confirmed it was taken off the agenda following a discussion at Central Council on Friday evening.

Believing there to be an issue with the manner in which free- and penalty-takers are striking the ball, Duffy said next month’s Central Council meeting is a better platform to provide an interpretation on the relevant existing rule.
