The GAA stood over its involvement in a campaign asking the new Government not to introduce legislation which would stop alcoholic drinks companies from sponsoring sport.
The request is one of 10 which was put to the Fine Gael and Labour parties prior to Enda Kenny’s announcement as Taoiseach, under the ‘Irish Sport Matters’ banner.
The document, which will also be distributed to every TD before the Dáil reconvenes next Tuesday, was signed by representatives of more than 60 Irish sports governing bodies, including Paraic Duffy, Director General of the GAA and his counterparts in the FAI and IRFU.
