Galway to get full-time secretary

THE county with the largest GAA membership in the country is to finally appoint a full-time secretary to run its affairs – and Galway chairman Gerry Larkin is confident the position will be filled in the coming months.

Larkin, chairman of the Galway County Board, said that a decision had been taken to appoint a full-time secretary and that it was now proceeding with the authorities in Croke Park.

“We have over 15,000 members of the GAA in Galway, which is more than any other county. There are 86 clubs in the county and we have been blessed down through the years with magnificent volunteer support.
