THE THORNY ISSUE of pay for play in the GAA cropped up last night with RTÉ documentary Páirc Life exploring the subject.
Podge Collins, Emlyn Mulligan, Seamus Hickey, Aaron Kernan, Paraic Duffy, Stephen Hunt and Mags D’Arcy were some of those whose opinion was canvassed.
It prompted plenty debate.

Really enjoyed #PáircLife. Great show. But I don't ever see a point where the GAA can sustain a full professional game.— Mike Quirke (@Mike_Quirke) September 8, 2015

@jacquihurley Congrats on a great show Jacqui. Great insight. IMO I don't see GAA ever going pro & I wouldn't want it to. #PaircLife— Aaron Kernan (@AaronKernan) September 8, 2015
