Scrap National Leagues if GAA gets no extra Government funding, says Danny Lynch

The Kerry native is adamant the GAA’s second biggest competition is in peril this year

“I don’t know whether there would be the same interest among the public in the leagues as there would be in the Championship even in the media. That was illustrated in the All-Stars where Kerry won the league and only got one nomination (David Clifford),” says Danny Lynch. Picture: INPHO/Lorraine O’Sullivan

Former GAA PRO Danny Lynch believes the organisation has to give strong consideration to abandoning this year’s Allianz Leagues if Government funding is not forthcoming.

Even at that, Lynch has his concerns about the activity of players and management when the number of Covid-19 cases remains so high on the island.
