Justin Campbell , the Roscommon and Connaught Hurling Manager , has appealed to any GAA players with gambling problems to ask for help. Justin, who was recently nominated for the Galway hurling job, works as an addiction counsellor in the Connaught region and sees the gambling problem at the coalface.

According to today’s Irish Independent he says he has encountered several GAA players with gambling issues.

The issue was recently highlighted by Galway County Chairman Noel Treacy, who has vowed to tackle the scourge of gambling and its advertising, but Justin says the embarrassment of admitting that there is a problem is what’s keeping players from seeking assistance.
