Barry says row hasn’t weakened him as manager

EAMONN BARRY has rejected suggestions that his managership of the Meath football team has been weakened by recent controversies.

He is also satisfied with the conditions under which his appointment was re-affirmed at the meeting of the County Board in Navan on Monday night.

“My position has not been weakened in the least’’ he stated. “I would say that from the very beginning these issues could have been discussed and possibly all sorted out.’’
