GAA president Jarlath Burns told a Joint Oireachtas Committee a "practical way" for the state to support the integration between his association, the Camogie Association and the LGFA would be to reopen the International Investment Programme.

The programme, which allowed foreign nationals to claim residency in Ireland for a certain period provided they invested money here, was discontinued 14 months ago.
