The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) has reassured its members that there has been “no change to the status of inter-county games nor the high regard in which it is held” in the Government.

After seeking clarity on a number of issues from Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers, GPA chief executive Paul Flynn issued a circular to inter-county footballers and hurlers tonight.
