In the way forward they may get clubs to get their own insurance, though not sure where that leave players insurance. Lloyds of london ensure anything but they be knee deep in Israeli stuff too.

Yes. 100% absolutely, unequivocally, yes.

If you think otherwise you're a f**king muppet.

"Surely likely maybe"

Have a f**king word with yourself.
Is the wife still bullying you or why are you so angry all the time? :D

This isn't a serious contribution.

There are 178 insurance companies operating in Ireland. Pick from the other 177.
Do you have any specific knowledge that any of these 177 companies wish to insure the GAA? And are in no way associated with something up to and including genocide that GAA members will not object to?
If the answer isn't yes then your contribution isn't serious.
If insurance is not economically viable for companies they won't offer the product.

Why wouldn't they?

Again, other sports manage to insure themselves just fine. The idea that the only possible option to insure the GAA also just happens to be a dodgy sponsor we can't get rid of isn't a serious thought.

The GAA ethics report certainly suggested that they had no other options.
But I will accept the argument that insurance companies exist so there must be options as the definitive position.

The GAA ethics report also said Allianz weren't investing in war bonds - and position Allianz themselves aren't taking.

The ethics committee has no business making that claim- that's commercial, not ethical.

Ethics Committee - a misnomer if ever there was one!

The top insurers featured in the report include Allianz, Aviva, AXA, Zurich Insurance Group, and RSA (Intact), all of which have contributed a total of $1.7 billion across 15 companies involved in Israeli militarism...

Among the five financial institutions, Aviva is reportedly the largest investor, with over $880 million invested in arms manufacturers including BAE Systems, Boeing, and Caterpillar, all of which sell large weapons and military equipment to Israel...

According to the report, Aviva and Allianz respectively account for 51% and 26% of the total investments across all five insurers. Zurich and AXA each accounted for over 10% of overall investments, and RSA (Intact) over 1%. "These investments enabled the genocide in Gaza, continue to sustain violent ethnic cleansing and colonisation of Palestine and facilitate the development and deployment of lethal weaponry around the world," the report reads.

I was taking the piss but BB2 hasn't engaged or took the bait as soccer has no issues in this area as the GAA is worse for being with Allianz.

Be interesting to see the game in Dublin v Israel
