European Court of Justice ruling on sports grants

By the way  what right has the government oir any third party to come into an organisation and offer to pay their players when that organisation has declared itself an amateur organisation.  How dare they cause this havoc?  

Ah now. What about Club Tyrone?

By the way  what right has the government oir any third party to come into an organisation and offer to pay their players when that organisation has declared itself an amateur organisation.  How dare they cause this havoc? The concept is out of order from the start.  As for accepting the payment the GAA needs to be very aware of the legal and employment implications. 

Talk about getting it wrong!! It was the GPA, with the GAA's backing that applied for the grant in the first place.

Do you think a civil servant in the Department of Sport rang Jones Road and offered them some money?
