The Gaelic Players Association are expected to meet today to hold talks on whether or not to continue their television and radio blackout.

GPA members refused to give pre or post-match interviews, in advance or after Sunday's Leinster football and Munster hurling finals and are expected to decide on their course of action for Sunday's Ulster and Connacht football finals.

The protest comes on the back of the GPA's efforts to gain official recognition from the GAA and a five per cent share of gate receipts, television revenue and sponsorship money.

The GAA have categorically ruled the 5% figure out, instead, offering to cover the association's administration costs.
