With less than eight weeks to the beginning of the National Leagues sponsored by Allianz, the GAA’s ethics and integrity committee’s review of the commercial relationship is expected before Christmas.

Central Council delegates were told their work into a UN report’s claim that the global insurance firm has financial ties with Israel and the genocide in Gaza is considerable. The body were commissioned to undertake the review in September. Two members have since recused themselves.
