GAA PRO Lynch to retire next year

HOT on the heels of the recent announcement that the GAA’s Director-General Liam Mulvihill is bowing out, the Association’s Public Relations Officer for the last 20 years, Danny Lynch said yesterday he will also be retiring early next year.

He’s doing so, he explained, because he felt the need for ‘a change of direction in his life.’ And, he had decided to make his decision public at this stage in case it might be linked in a negative way with the upcoming appointment of Mulvihill’s replacement.

Apart from the fact that the President has asked him to stay on until his successor was in place, he didn’t want ‘the impression to go out’ that he didn’t get on with the new Director-General.
