So in every other context the President does the role for free, because as you say it's honorary.

But the GAA pay their geeezer to do it because they aren't about money.

Right ho chaps.

What does the president of FIFA get, anybody know?

In the meantime let's stick with man of the people, boarding school educated queens council, Brolly. Basic research would have told you your little "point" completely backs up what I said. The position of GAA president is a three year one and the occupant of the position does not gain monetarily from it - they continue to receive the same salary as they were receiving in their previous paid employment, which is entirely reimbursed to the employer by the GAA.

People in every other sport fulfil that role for free. You are talking nonsense man. Nonsense.

Native Irish pastimes are cricket, rugby and footer. Hurling was dead and that ghastly Gaelic football is a boardroom designed monstrosity.

But I especially dislike hypocrisy from the British ruling elite. And Brolly is a hypocrite
