Páraic Duffy: 'We’re not going to run the GAA by Twitter'

GAA director general Páraic Duffy claims the divide between the organisation’s administration and players has been “driven” by the Club Players Association (CPA) and insisted the GAA won’t be run by what is written on Twitter.

Duffy was referring to several current and former inter-county footballers who took to the social media platform on Saturday to decry Congress’ historic decision to back the “Super 8” All-Ireland senior football championship proposal, put forward by Duffy.

With the GPA and Cork offering the only dissenting voices on the motion, 76% of delegates endorsed the introduction of two All- Ireland round-robin groups instead of quarter-finals, with the top two in each progressing to the semi-finals.
