McCague and Hogan get nod

GAA President Sean Kelly yesterday announced the appointees to two high powered Croke Park committees aimed at improving disciplinary and appeals procedures.

Mr Kelly is hopeful that the new systems would “be seen as effective, transparent and equitable and in tandem with other measures taken would eliminate anomalies and inconsistencies that arose in the past.”

Tipperary’s Con Hogan will chair the newly formed Central Disciplinary Committee made up of Pat O’Neill (Meath), John Heaphy (Monaghan), Gerry Mahon (Leitrim) Bob Honohan (Cork), Joe O’ Shaughnessy (Wexford), Garrett O’ Reilly (Cavan), Bernie O’ Connor (Galway) and Billy Lenihan (Limerick).
