"GAA president Jarlath Burns has revealed plans for a "high-performance licence" aimed at controlling the cost of running inter-county teams."
"Burns made the announcement while appearing in the Oireachtas before the Joint Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport. He was there to discuss progress on the integration of Gaelic games but was also questioned on other issues."
A high-performance licence will be established to control and limit the costs associated with running inter-county teams. The licence will target expenditures linked to elite preparation, coaching, player support, and team operations to curb escalating county budgets. Frameworks for licensing criteria, financial oversight, and compliance enforcement will be developed to ensure affordability and sustainability of inter-county competitions. The initiative accompanies integration efforts for Gaelic games governance and aims to create transparent, standardized financial expectations across counties. The proposal was presented to a parliamentary committee on arts, media, communications, culture and sport and faced questions on related issues.
