The establishment of a newly structured GAA rulebook, split into constitution and policy sections, will be put to a Special Congress in September.

Currently, the Official Guide is divided between non-playing rules and playing rules but the new division would allow Central Council (Ard Chomhairle) and management committee to make changes to policy with Congress retaining the power to alter rules.
