Removing the GAA director general position from the association’s management committee (Coiste Bainisti) is among a number of recommendations aimed at achieving funding-dependent gender balance on the board.

As sports bodies’ state funding is contingent on 40% gender quotas on its governing bodies being reached by January next year, the GAA are considering proposals to ensure they continue to receive €3 million per annum from the Government, which does not include capital and club funding.
