GPA to announce strike decision tomorrow

The Gaelic Players Association are expected to announce tomorrow afternoon at a press conference the outcome of a ballot of its members in relation to strike action by players for the forthcoming National Football League and Hurling League campaigns.

The possible strike is over the allocation of Government funding for player grants, which are still to be made available to the players despite the Government's commitment, and the support which the GPA have received from certain quarters of the GAA, including Player Welfare Officer Pauric Duffy.
