Cork board set to consult with clubs on strategic plan

THE Cork County Board last night announced that it has completed phase one of the process to develop a Strategic Plan for GAA in the county over the next five years and is envisaging that the plan will be rolled out from next March onwards.

In an official statement, the board revealed that the four sub-committees of the county strategic planning committee, which were established last spring, have completed their detailed proposals. Those committees were charged with tackling the areas of urbanisation, communications, underage structure, and divisional structures and fixture planning. The committees were chaired by former Cork players Denis Coughlan and Denis Burns, county board PRO Ger Lane and county board vice-chairman Bob Ryan.

Chairman Jerry O’Sullivan announced that these committees have now completed their work and the board are now set to embark on an extensive consultation process with clubs across the county between now and the end of the year.
