Plans afoot to bring All-Irelands forward by a week

Bringing both All-Ireland senior finals forward by week will help "revolutionise" the GAA calendar, claims GAA president Liam O’Neill.

Speaking at the Ireland team’s Duxton Hotel in Perth yesterday, O’Neill referenced the work of the committee, which will shortly deliver proposals to condense the GAA season into a calendar year.

He revealed scheduling the finals earlier by one week is a cornerstone of the recommendations going forward to Congress in February with a mind to them coming into operation in 2016.
