Despite there being no increase on the four training sessions a week that the GAA will cover players’ travel expenses, the GPA-GAA dispute is at an end as agreement has been reached on a Player Charter for 2022.

The deal, which is subject to approval by Central Council and the GPA’s National Executive Committee who meet separately this week, includes a removal of the cap on panel members entitled to claim mileage, which had stood at 32 players per panel during the two Covid-affected seasons.
