GAA president Jarlath Burns has revealed the Football Review Committee (FRC) are considering the proposal of a new basketball-like “back-court” rule at Special Congress in October.

Speaking at the opening of the John F Kennedy Summer School in New Ross on Thursday evening, Burns also defended an anticipated proposal by his amateur review status body to provide inter-county managers with stipends, believed to be €20,000 per annum.
