Strict new rules enforced in elections of IFA officers

IFA meetings around the country have been enlivened by the adoption of the association’s new rules.

Last year’s radical overhaul of how the 85,000 member organisation is run included strict new election procedures which came under pressure recently at the election of Eddie Scanlan as Limerick’s IFA vice-chairman.

The office of county vice-chairman has assumed new importance after the IFA overhaul, and the election drew an overflow attendance of senior officers to the Limerick AGM in Adare.
