Sean Fogarty: ‘Axe provincial championships and reduce power of councils’

Former Munster Council chairman Sean Fogarty has called for the abolition of the provincial football championships and a significant reduction in the power wielded by provincial councils.

Fogarty describes the present structure of the All-Ireland SFC as a “castle built on sand” and says “drastic change” is required.

The Tipperary native, while finding favour with certain elements of the GPA proposal unveiled last week, does not believe the players’ blueprint for reform goes far enough given it advocates for the retention of the provincial championships.
