GAA should have restricted players to just one handpass, reckons Dr Pat O’Neill

Dublin’s 1995 All-Ireland-winning manager Dr Pat O’Neill doesn’t believe the playing rules committee went far enough in proposing a limit of three consecutive handpasses for Gaelic football.

As current boss Jim Gavin claimed the GAA and their rules body did not state a “clear vision” for the game, O’Neill, a former football development committee member, would have preferred if players were restricted to one handpass before the ball had to be kicked.
