Congress decision gives GAA flexibility to react to Covid-19

Nothing to see here: Croke Park was quiet yesterday despite the meeting of Special Congress, as delegates met via video/teleconference. For the next 12 weeks at least, Coiste Bainistí will have additional authority to make calls that would have otherwise required a convening of Congress.

The GAA will be quicker to react to the latest social distancing restrictions as a result of yesterday’s Special Congress decision to hand over temporary powers to their management committee.
