The head of the Club Players Association, Micheál Briody, has accused GAA president John Horan of being disrespectful and “playing to the audience” when calling on the CPA, during his Congress speech, to bring forward their plans to improve the fixtures calendar.

CPA chairman Briody has confirmed he will seek clarification from GAA director general Tom Ryan and president John Horan as to why the latter made the comments when the CPA have been working with Croke Park for the past two months on tackling the fixtures mess.
