GAA top brass unperturbed as GPA advocates ‘yes’ vote in referendum

The GAA have no issue with the GPA’s plans this week to advocate a yes vote in the marriage referendum on May 22.

When asked in a text message poll last month, inter-county players backed the proposal to publicly support the change to the constitution by a ratio of six to one.

The GAA in March took exception to inter-county football referee David Gough’s plans to wear an armband supporting a yes vote and gay rights during the Division 1 game between Dublin and Tyrone.
