Presidential candidate Jim Gavin enjoyed the first of what he hopes will be two successful votes this month when GAA Special Congress passed all of his Football Review Committee’s (FRC) proposals into permanent rule.

At a gathering that spent more time debating a separate motion regarding the manufacturing of playing gear, all of the FRC’s 60 rule changes were endorsed in less than 45 minutes.
