Trump win leaves New York GAA 'on edge'

New York County Board chairman Laurence McGrath admits there are a lot of people “on edge” in the city’s GAA scene about US president-elect Donald Trump’s immigration policy.

Trump spoke in August last year about his plan to scrap the J1 student visa programme, which has been such a factor in augmenting GAA club teams during their championships in the summer.

Donegal native McGrath admits there is concern about Trump’s plans, although he is optimistic the New Yorker might not be able to wield the axe so freely once in office.
