Rule 42 counties to seek Croker clarification

ALTHOUGH the possibility of boycotting Congress seems to be side-lined, the eight counties who motioned for a change in Rule 42 will contact Croke Park to seek clarification as to why each motion was ruled out of order this year.

Representatives from the eight counties Dublin, Mayo, Cavan, Laois, Roscommon, Wicklow, Clare and Longford met in Portlaoise on Thursday night to discuss the situation and contemplate their next move.

Afterwards, Tommy Kenoy, the Roscommon delegate who first brought a Rule 42 motion to Congress three years ago, issued a statement on behalf of the counties.
