Cork’s 2010 All-Ireland SFC winning manager Conor Counihan says the GAA’s funding mechanism needs to be revised to reflect the challenges faced by rural counties.

Counihan is against the splitting of Dublin, but does envisage the amalgamation of smaller counties, initially at under-age level, on a pilot basis.
