A motion from CLG Clontarf will be considered at this month’s Congress that would mean adult players would have to play a minimum of four club league games to be eligible to play inter-county championship.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner’s Gaelic football podcast, former Dublin footballer Dr Noel McCaffrey explained why he proposed the motion at his own club AGM. It was subsequently overwhelmingly passed at the Dublin AGM last December.
