Is there anything they think the GAA need to improve to help the clubs and their volunteers?
A more equal spread of the wealth around all the clubs, the work being done in all local GAA communities is not being rewarded equally so the amount of time spent fundraising to keep clubs going and breaking even each year could be better spend coaching and developing our youth.
