The successor to Liam Mulvihill as director general of the GAA will be announced next week.
Croke Park stadium director Peter McKenna; player welfare officer Pauric Duffy; and Pat Gilroy, managing director of Dalkia Ireland and current St Vincent's footballer, are the three remaining candidates.
A three-man interview panel - consisting of GAA president Nickey Brennan, Con Hogan and Seán Silke - have completed the process and will present their final decision to the GAA management committee for ratification.
An extraordinary management committee meeting will be required as there is not one scheduled over the next two weekends. By which stage the 17th director general, also known as general secretary, should be in the public domain.
