Dónal Óg Cusack: History will judge Páraic Duffy well

I signed up as a member to the Club Players Association this week. I believe that the CPA is very much on the side of right when it comes to the fixtures issue. I also believe the interests of the GPA and the CPA are not mutually exclusive.

I was heavily involved in the early stages of the GPA and from that experience I would offer my club colleagues one bit of advice. It’s good to create some noise. It’s better to create that noise and then ignore it. Stir up the crowd but keep your eye on the ball.

The CPA can do a great service to the GAA if it helps to bring about a change in the way we organise things. Our games are under huge pressure due to the manner in which rugby has organised and sold itself.
