Claim garda signature on GAA document faked

CLAIMS that a fake garda signature was used on a planning application for Galway’s Pearse Stadium are being investigated by the local GAA organisation.

After being approached by a “concerned” member of the public earlier this month, the Superintendent at Salthill Garda Station visited the Galway City Council offices to view the document which was submitted by the Pearse Stadium Development Committee.

Superintendent Noel Kelly then wrote to the Planning Office saying the signature was not authorised by him and did not belong to him or any of his inspectors or the sergeant at Salthill Garda Station.
