Moran to boycott underage functions serving alcohol

NEW Connacht Council chairman Tommy Moran has pledged to boycott underage GAA functions where alcohol will be served.

Speaking at last night's annual convention in Carrick-on-Shannon, he appealed to officials to take a similar stance in their own counties. "It may be only a small gesture, but we have to start somewhere,'' he said.

Moran, the former Leitrim secretary and a prominent referee in the 1980s, said there now appeared to be a sudden realisation of the harm caused by the abuse of alcoholic drink.
