Cusack: I’m glad I wasn’t professional

Gaelic Players Association chairman Dónal Óg Cusack says his views on professionalism in the GAA have changed, from wanting it as a teenager to believing now that amateurism is ‘more wholesome’.

The former Cork goalkeeper and three-time All-Ireland senior medallist was speaking on the issue at the 2014 Web Summit at the RDS.

His comments come in the wake of suggestions by former All-Ireland winning Offaly manager Eugene McGee players could receive some form of pay in as little as 10 years’ time.
