GPA CEO Tom Parsons claims integration is the 'greatest opportunity in the history of Gaelic games'

As they did in May, the GPA expressed frustration with the lack of progress in the integration process. They reported they have met with the Mary McAleese-led steering group on two occasions, the most recent meeting taking place last month

The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) said integration is “not a problem to be solved” at an Oireachtas hearing on Wednesday.

The official inter-county players body were speaking specifically on the topic in front of the joint committee on arts, media, communications, culture and sport. Among their delegation were three current inter-county players, co-chairperson of the GPA national executive committee Aisling Maher (Dublin), Conor Meyler (Tyrone) and Shane O’Donnell (Clare).
