CPA was never welcomed by the GAA, says Griffin

Club Players Association (CPA) executive member Liam Griffin claims the body was “never welcomed” by the GAA.

Citing the official recognition motion which was withdrawn before being defeated at Congress 2017 and the transparency proposal shot down at the following year’s gathering, hotelier Griffin — an All-Ireland winning hurling manager for Wexford in 1996 — believes there was no interest in the GAA hierarchy to work with the CPA.
