Overview
- RTÉ reported that Dublin players planned to avoid Allianz-branded backdrops, but defender Greg McEneany said no squad-wide plan had been discussed.
- The Irish Times reported new manager Ger Brennan was understood to have declined Allianz promotions, and an RTÉ source told Defector county officials had been briefed on potential actions.
- The association retained Allianz as title sponsor after an internal review concluded it is contractually bound to the deal through 2030.
- A UN Special Rapporteur’s report naming Allianz among firms linked to Israel’s actions spurred petitions, county motions, a virtual league launch without current players, and a protest of about 40 outside Croke Park.
- The GAA’s Ethics and Integrity Commission advised keeping the deal but tightening future partner vetting, and at least ten counties have prepared Congress motions seeking to end the tie-up.
