More space needs to be found in the GAA calendar to promote the Allianz Football League finals, says the sponsors’s long-time associate.

Donal Bollard, who was Allianz customer relations manager throughout the vast majority of their partnership with the GAA and continues to work as a consultant for the insurance company, wants to see the deciders retained.
