Dublin’s three-time All-Ireland SFC winner Dr David Hickey has declined an invitation to today’s GPA’s 'Legends Lunch' in protest at the organisation’s “failure to take a stance” against the GAA’s Allianz sponsorship.

The golden anniversary of Hickey’s 1976 All-Ireland SFC winning team is being celebrated at the event in Croke Park.
