Sad that Burns passed buck on August All-Ireland finals 

GAA president Jarlath Burns is wrong - August All-Ireland finals can work.

At least this year it wasn’t the Mancunian sons of a Meath father and Mayo mother who confirmed the All-Ireland finals weren’t for shifting from July.

GAA president Jarlath Burns declared on Tuesday that there would be no August deciders in 2026. That's three months earlier than the moment last year when people learned from MCD Promotions that Liam, not Eoghan Bán Gallagher, would be a star attraction in Croke Park in mid-August 2025.
