GAA Congress makes the submission of motions much easier
This comes about as a result of an important amendment to the existing rule governing the activities of the vetting committee agreed at Saturday's Special Congress. In the course of formally moving the proposal, Connacht chairman Tommy Moran did not make any reference to Rule 42 or the controversy which erupted when a number of motions relating to the issue were rejected on technicalities early this year. But he said that clubs and county committees in the past had been frustrated when 'well-meaning' motions were ruled out of order.
Under the amended regulation, the vetting committee (comprising the ex-presidents and current president Sean Kelly), will be permitted to inform counties if motions are not in order, and for what reason. 'Appropriately corrected' motions can be re-submitted within a certain time limit (to be determined by the Central Council).
