Second tier won't tie hands of GAA fixtures group, insists Horan

GAA president John Horan maintains the new fixtures review committee won’t be hamstrung by Special Congress’ decision yesterday to introduce a second tier inter-county football championship next year.

After over three-quarters of delegates backed the model which resembles the short-lived Tommy Murphy Cup, the fixtures group commissioned by Horan will soon reveal their recommendations although some of their work was revealed by the Irish News newspaper on Saturday.
