The Gaelic Players Association (GPA) will receive a cut of GAA+ subscriptions and dividends as part of their new funding deal.

While they will face greater oversight from Croke Park about how they spend Central Council funding, the agreement represents a departure as inter-county players’ image rights have been formally recognised by the GAA.
