A consumer rights expert says the GAA has questions to answer after it changed season ticket terms and conditions last month without making holders aware.
A clause was inserted to state there would be no refunds provided in the event of the GAA season, Allianz National League or Championship being postponed due to circumstances outside of the control of the Association.
However, the GAA says it's within its rights to adjust the small print of the loyalty scheme without notifying holders.

GAA director of communications, Alan Milton, told the Irish Examiner that the change to the terms and conditions was made the week that the Association announced the cessation of all Gaelic Games activities.
However, Consumers’ Association of Ireland advisor Dermot Jewell believes there are grounds for the terms and conditions to be considered as unfair and biased in favour of the GAA.
