Spillane accused of ‘shooting from the lip’

A SENIOR GAA official has condemned TV pundit Pat Spillane for recent criticisms of the association.

Spillane was enraged the GAA did not do more to entice Setanta Ó hAilpín away from a career in Australian Rules last December.

He also slammed Croke Park bosses for failing to utilise the talents of former players in building their games at grassroots level.
