Poll: Should GAA inter-county hurlers and footballers be paid to play?

The topic was explored in last night’s RTÉ documentary Páirc Life.

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.
