Football Review Committee chairperson Jim Gavin and Uachtarán CLG Jarlath Burns today provided an update on the work of the committee and timelines for the remainder of the project.
After being appointed by Ard Chomhairle, the committee has commenced its work in recent weeks by analysing the current rules of the game and previous reports on the playing rules and by reviewing current games.
In addition to recent engagement with both Ard Chomhairle and the Standing Committee on Playing Rules, the FRC today launches its survey for all interested parties which will remain open until June 30 (Football Review Committee Survey/ Suirbhé Choiste Athbhreithnithe na Peile ).
The timeline revealed to the media today confirmed plans for a draft report to be presented to Ard Chomhairle in November of 2024 with a view to the possible staging of Special Congress in December to facilitate the introduction of the trial of rule enhancements for 2025 competitions.
