Worry at GAA focus on 'maximising revenue' in director general recruitment

Former GAA PRO Danny Lynch is concerned the criteria set out to appoint the new director general indicates the association remain intent on maximising revenue.

As the deadline to apply for the position Páraic Duffy vacates on March 31 was extended due to Friday week, Dingle native Lynch doesn’t believe the advert didn’t send out the right message about the role.

That appears to be conceded in part by Croke Park who yesterday clarified that those who don’t have at least a bachelors degree in business will be fully considered. As well as possessing “strong experience of financial management” and “commercial acumen”, it is stipulated candidates possess a third level business-related qualification.
