Last weekend's Special GAA Congress may have ratified all 62 motions on the programme, but GAA president Jarlath Burns has already outlined his next round of pressing engagements.
These will centre on the further engagement of the Amateur Status Committee, the organisation’s demographics committee and the Broadcast Advisory Group.
Before Congress concluded the Armagh native promised that the GAA’s amateur review would bring "radical" proposals to next year's meeting.
He told delegates that he was not wholly confident that there would be sufficient appetite for "true change" in this area.
Burns said: "We're going to bring those proposals to Congress in February, and they are going to be a bit radical.
"What we're trying to achieve is to make it easier for our county players to play the game and live their lives. And to make it easier for our counties to pay for playing the game at the highest level.
"There's a lot of varied views on what the amateur status means to players and to counties and to everybody else and when we went around the country I got the feeling that everyone wants change but not too many people want true change.
"If we're going to really deal with this in the way we have to deal with it then we're going to have to reflect seriously on what it means to be an amateur athlete playing at the highest level in 2026."
Burns outlined that a meeting with county board chairs was in the pipeline to discuss some of their commercial arrangements.
He specifically mentioned concerns around streaming platforms where some arrangements were in direct conflict with deals made by the GAA at national level.
The GAA president mentioned problems that TG4, an official media partner of the association, had in trying to cover games in counties where streaming arrangements were already in place.
"A lot of counties are doing very bad deals, and I’ll be gathering the broadcasting advisory group, which consists of people who are eminent in this field.
"We’re going to take advice from that group.
"We have to be very careful that these chickens don’t come home to roost because some of these companies are doing side deals with sponsors, which are in direct contravention to our national GAA sponsors, ambush marketing, really."
Burns explained that some counties regretted deals that they had agreed.
The final takeaway from Special Congress was a commitment to begin examination of the 19 FRC recommendations with the Standing Committee on Playing Rules.
It looks like a special advisory committee will soon be established to monitor and inform the ongoing health of Gaelic football.
"One of the recommendations to set up an expert group and an analysis group and an awful lot of the work that they have done, we would be very keen to maintain it, particularly around how we capture data in games," Burns added.
"The FRC has recommended that the Games Intelligence Unit which they set up to monitor, track, and collect data to assess whether the rule enhancements were working, be now established as a permanent unit within the Association.
"The GIU would in turn support a Gaelic Football Expert Advisory Group comprising inter-county and club managers, players, referees, and other stakeholders to provide informed advice on further potential rule changes aimed at continued enhancement of the game.
"Because every decision you make must be informed, not by emotion, but by the actual data that comes from games and that's how you achieve change, rationally and pragmatically.
"Not because you see one bad game and decide to change everything. And there have been some bad games under these rules. There will always be bad games. But that's how we will proceed."
