Gaelic Players Association CEO Tom Parsons and Head of Equality and Player Relations Gemma Begley were delighted to have the opportunity to present the findings of the ‘Assessment of Economic and Social Impacts of Inter-County Gaelic Football, Camogie and Hurling Players in Ireland’ to Minister of State at the Department of Sport, Charlie McConalogue TD.
Tom and Gemma highlighted the hugely positive social and economic impact of inter-county players but at the same time pointing out the financial burden playing inter-county sport places on them.
The GPA looks forward to continued constructive and positive engagement with the Minister of State during his tenure and wish him well in his role
