Attacks on Kelly unfair, say former presidents

FORMER presidents of the GAA have criticised those who personalized their attacks on Sean Kelly over the opening of Croke Park to other sports.

A number of Cork delegates directed scathing comments towards current president Kelly at last Sunday’s convention for ‘espousing’ personal views on making GAA headquarters available to soccer and rugby.

“I myself have one major problem. I would not let anybody into the car park, not to mention into Croke Park,” blasted Munster Council treasurer Dan Hoare while John Corcoran from St. Mary’s, Ballineen said: “The president does not deserve the respect of ordinary gaels.”
