Zero tolerance called for by Howlin on 'false claims'
March 05, 2010Howlin believes that among some of the 10,500 claims made in 2009, some were 'false' which, if repeated on a large enough scale going forward could threaten the viability of the Scheme.
"We must ensure our players who genuinely need the scheme are looked after properly in the years ahead," said Howlin in the Irish Examiner.
"This is our own scheme which is funded by all our units, administered by the GAA and is in most danger from within our own organisation.
"There is no doubt that a number of false claims are being presented and many of these get through the control system.
"We must all ensure that any abuses are stamped out and I appeal to our county officers to put stringent controls in place." Tweet
