GPA’s vital role now in public eye, says Earley

GPA president Dermot Earley considers Colm O’Rourke’s attack on the player body to have been a blessing in disguise.

Former Kildare midfielder Earley says it afforded the official players body the opportunity to outline the work they have been doing for inter-county footballers and hurlers in recent years.

“Colm asked a few questions, and the GPA responded. I think the outcome of that was that people who were made actually aware of the huge amount that they do,” said Earley.
