Mystery GAA recruit in wings

A MYSTERY figure from Clare intercounty GAA, with national prominence, is being lined up for a fight to win back a Dáil seat in the constituency.

The party last won there with Dr Moosajee Bhamjee in 1992 but failed to follow up on the breakthrough.

If negotiations are successful the candidate is likely to be unveiled at the end off the current GAA season. This will be the final piece in the party’s team to try win seats west of the Shannon.
