A thaw appears to be breaking out in the GAA-GPA dispute after both sides held “productive” talks today.
The parties have been at loggerheads for a number of weeks over player expenses, with the GAA only prepared to subvent a mileage rate of 65c for up to four training sessions/games per week. Anything beyond that is at the discretion of the relevant county board.
The GPA insisted that collective gatherings can fluctuate above and below four gatherings per week depending on the time of the season and that players shouldn’t be left out of pocket if required to travel more than four times a week.
