Paul Flynn hopeful of renewed GPA/GAA deal in 2020

GAA funding accounted for 39% of the GPA's income in 2019

GPA CEO Paul Flynn believes a new deal with the GAA can be negotiated before 2021.

Talks on a new funding model between the parties failed to come up with an agreement late last year with GAA president John Horan admitting it was down to a money 'roadblock' at the time. The pandemic and ripple effects arising from it have since changed the overall context in which any further discussions take place.
