GAA-GPA deal sees inter-county stars net €6m a year

Central Council has endorsed the GAA’s framework agreement with the GPA, which will see inter-county players benefit by at least €6.2m per annum for the next three years.

Although there were concerns previously raised in some quarters about the scale of the deal, there were no issues raised at the meeting in Croke Park.

Players will see their mileage rate increase from 50c per mile to between 62.5c and 65c, and the GAA are likely to extend that increase to other groups such as managers, referees, and county board officials.
