Lovely scene of Jarlath and mcmanus having a friendly chat shown on TV at today's match......€32m handed over to the gaa a few years ago as a "gift" buys you a big dollop of soft power with that organisation
The top brass like burns know you don't rock the boat or upset a big donor like mcmanus with unwelcome commentary on the Kyle Hayes case and conviction
And likewise mcmanus makes sure he got some tangible return with the appointment of a trusty lieutenant of his to an influential GAA committee that will pay off in the years to come
