'I can’t stress it enough – you have to scrap WhatsApp' - GAA

The GAA have warned their clubs against using WhatsApp for official purposes over data-protection concerns.

The GAA have warned their units against using WhatsApp for official purposes as it does not comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
