Standing with Allianz - How the GAA Became What It Once Loathed
About this episode
A few minutes before 1pm on the Saturday of the 2026 GAA Congress some protestors forced their way inside.
The response to this protest may have far reaching implications for the GAA.
On Free State we look at how the GAA has failed to deal with the understandable anger about the Allianz sponsorship deal.
Dion and Joe argue about how they should be addressing it and Jarlath Burns’s comments on Saturday.
Is this a turning point for how volunteers view the GAA, certainly the GAA as represented by Croke Park?
