There is uncertainty Jim Gavin will present his Football Review Committee (FRC) motions to Special Congress next month if he is chosen as the Fianna Fáil candidate for the presidential election on Tuesday.

At last November’s Special Congress, the six-time All-Ireland SFC winning manager outlined the experimental changes to Gaelic football, which received overwhelming backing from delegates.
