89.8% of the vote supported the motion from the GAA players’ group at the Congress which took place at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence in Bekan in Mayo.
Elsewhere the motion to revamp the GAA underage competitions at inter-county level was defeated. The plan sought to create a new U19 competition instead of the present U20 format and that would have seen the minor grade (U17) becoming a developmental one. It failed to get the required 60% vote, with only 55.6% supporting the change.

On a related matter, there were motions brought forward to change the inter-county minor grade back to U18 from the U17 format, but the three were withdrawn as GAA President Larry McCarthy stated a Special Congress may be held later this year to discuss underage grades.
