There was a changing of the guard at the Kerry GAA Convention in Tralee last night, with Tim Murphy (Brosna) assuming the chair as Patrick O’Sullivan completed his five-year term.

Concern has been voiced by the public spending watchdog about more than €300,000 spent by the Institute of Technology, Tralee, on consultant fees for the design of the Kerry Sports Academy without capital funding for the project being in place.

NEW Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan wants the GAA to adopt a new system that would allow players based in England to remain eligible to play for their Irish clubs.
