​Following the announcement on 14 December, 2016 of the intention to provide increased funding to the Gaelic Players Association over the three years 2017 to 2019, officials of my Department are currently in the process of elaborating the detail of the multi-annual programme in consultation with Sport Ireland. Neither I nor my officials have met the GAA in this context.
