This is crazy that players that give so much to Irish society should be out of pocket! The glue of Irish heritage all around the world, something needs to be done here!

The former payment of €1,944 per male inter-county player has dropped to €1,471 per player, a reduction of 24%. At the same time, their monetary effect is €591 million, a 52% increase. Some players subsidising themselves to play! Full report below: comms.gaelicplayers.com/IndeconReport*

Positive meeting with the GPA to discuss their report on the economic and social impact of inter-county players in Ireland. They have a unique role, performing at an elite level, and as role models and active members of their communities.

Met with the Taoiseach Micheál Martin tonight to discuss the economic impact and personal sacrifices of Inter-county players. Encouraging to see recognition of their vital role in our sporting culture and the dedication they bring to the game.

Home advantage is a core principle of championship football. Antrim earned the right to play at Corrigan Park, and that must be respected. Logistical concerns can't override sporting fairness. I stand with the players. Ulster GAA must reconsider. #RespectHomeAdvantage

Celebrating Our Irish Language Scholarships. Sport & culture go hand in hand, and we’re proud to support players embracing both. As Patrick O'Donovan said this week:"we should all make an effort to speak some cúpla focail." gaelicplayers.com/gaelchultur-gp… #Gaeilge #GPA #GAA #CúplaFocail

Saddened to hear of Mick O'Dwyer’s passing—a legend, a leader, and a lifelong servant of Gaelic football. His impact on our games is lasting. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

6 in 15 men have never spoken about their mental health. That’s nearly half a team. GPA teaming up with Movember USA and the The GAA to change that. Mental fitness matters — on and off the pitch. #TalkMorePlayBetter #GPA aheadofthegame.movember.com/about/

Half the lads in the dressing room won’t talk about mental health — but that doesn’t mean they’re not struggling. Check in. Say something. A message from the dressing room might mean more than you think 💪

Fair play to our camogie players for standing tall and winning the right to wear shorts or skorts. This is all them. GPA’s proud to have their backs. Best of luck in the championship! #Camogie #LetPlayersChoose
