A Cork club delegate believes there is no basis to the GAA decision to pause loss of wages cover, calling on Croke Park “to go back and look at their numbers”.

There has been significant pushback from clubs and counties to the Croke Park decision last December to pause cover for loss of earnings within the GAA’s injury benefit fund.
