Clare County Council will oppose the GAA’s move to charge U16s admission to National League matches, after a motion gained unanimous support at the January council meeting on Monday.

The Council will write to Croke Park to express opposition, while notice of the motion, proposed by Fine Gael councillor Paul Murphy, is to be circulated to all local authorities across the country in a bid to generate a groundswell of opposition to the change.
