O’Shea outburst sparks high level GOAL resignations

TWO prominent Irish-Americans have quit as directors of the charity GOAL USA following John O’Shea’s criticism of the Government’s decision to offer €1 million in aid to New Orleans.

The New York-based pair, publisher Niall O’Dowd of the Irish Voice and Tipperary-born Declan Kelly, president and chief executive of consultancy firm Financial Dynamics, resigned following Mr O’Shea’s outburst.

Both have not publicly commented on their decisions.
