Brennan vows to revisit burnout issue

THE idea of an Under-19 grade died a quick death at Special Congress on Saturday but plans are already afoot to readdress the question of burnout, with the possibility of an U-17 competition replacing minor just one of the ideas in the pipeline.

Defeated, as expected, by 115 votes to 58 two days ago, both the president Nickey Brennan and Director General-elect Paraic Duffy remain determined to persist with burnout proposals until the matter is suitably addressed.

Brennan said after Saturday’s Congress that the pair would be like “two dogs with a bone” and the Burnout Task Force chairman Dr Pat O’Neill has also indicated his willingness to continue with his work.
