Cork GAA chairman Pat Horgan has said the county will support the proposal to extend the inter-county season by two weeks from 2027 onwards, but only on the grounds that there is no further encroachment into August in the years after.

Central Council, earlier this month, greenlighted the recommendation by GAA leadership to move the All-Ireland finals to either side of the August Bank Holiday weekend, which in 2027 would be Sunday, July 25 and Sunday, August 8.
