(2) Do you object to top administrators in the GAA being paid six figure salaries?
(3) Can the GAA afford to "pay" top players?
(4) Do you think we should treat our top players less well than the FAI or IFA or IRFU?
If you answer yes to 4 please explain why
(5) Do our top players train less or give less commitment than an IFA or FAI player?

If you think its Ok to pay administrators but not players please explain why

No

No

(4) Do you think we should treat our top players less well than the FAI or IFA or IRFU?
No idea how well FAI/IFA/IRFU treat their players but I think ours are treated well

(5) Do our top players train less or give less commitment than an IFA or FAI player?
No idea how much those players train or what commitment they have.

If you think its Ok to pay administrators but not players please explain why
Because they are doing jobs i.e. 35+ hours a week - work that would just be too much for volunteers.

FAI/IFA/IRFU yop players are all paid

I suspect that some of the top GAA players are training 35 hours per week plus

(1) Do you believe that top GAA players should be out of pocket for represnting their county?

No, they shouldn't be. They should receive expenses. Last time I checked, they do

(2) Do you object to top administrators in the GAA being paid six figure salaries?

No. Administrators are doing their jobs.

(3) Can the GAA afford to "pay" top players?

In a free market situation, there is probably enough for a hundred or so footballers (not hurlers) to make a living.

(4) Do you think we should treat our top players less well than the FAI or IFA or IRFU?
If you answer yes to 4 please explain why

I make it a point not to answer "when did you stop beating your wife" questions.

(5) Do our top players train less or give less commitment than an IFA or FAI player?

Seeing as our top players do not train for a living, I would say our top players train less than professional soccer players

If you think its Ok to pay administrators but not players please explain why

See answer to question 2.

Why do they train 35 hours per week ?


Is it for the money ?YES OR NO THE TRUTH PLEASE

[deiseach]

I suspect that some geeks spend 35 hours per week plus updating Wikipedia. Do you think they should get paid?

[SeanSouth]

I think "Armaghtothebone" should be added to the GAA's doping schedule at his earliest convenience.
