Dublin GAA chiefs deny row took place in interview with Mullins

DUBLIN GAA chiefs have issued a statement refuting a claim published in a Sunday newspaper concerning Brian Mullins’ interview for the county’s vacant senior football manager post.

According to the paper, Mullins "stormed out" of the meeting after being asked about five questions by Dublin County Board chairman John Bailey. The board have denied that any disagreement occurred at any stage during the interview, which they say lasted for 90 minutes. The matter is now in the hands of their legal advisers.

"The Dublin County Committee totally refute an allegation in Ireland on Sunday, October 31st 2004 edition, relating to a story concerning Brian Mullins' interview for the position of Dublin senior football team manager," began the statement from county secretary John Costello.
