GAA chiefs have moved to prohibit the promotion of charities on playing gear.
The move is sure to cause consternation and anger among clubs in particular.
Last November the GAA barred Mayo from putting rainbow numbers on their jerseys in support of the LGBTQ community, in a move which was heavily criticised.

‘The Opt for Life Foundation,’ which promotes organ donations and has been heavily promoted by Joe Brolly, has featured prominently on GAA club jerseys in recent years.
But a decision taken over the weekend, when Central Council and Management Committee meetings took place, has implications for such moves going forward.
No punishment was outlined in a GAA missive.
A GAA statement read that a decision was taken, “To prohibit the promotion of charities, campaigns etc. on playing gear.
“It was felt that there are other ways to promote these without modifying playing gear.”
Elsewhere, the GAA have formally given permission for Croke Park and Casement Park, which has yet to be built, to be included in a bid for the 2028 European Championships.
A move was also approved to bring back ‘Club Day,’ in 2023.
Lá na gClubanna was postponed during the Covid pandemic.
The GAA have also doubled down on the regulations surrounding selectors on the sidelines.
The GAA statement read: “Selectors must sit in their designated area - i.e. provide no facility for getting messages onto the field of play.”
