Cork board heavily backs GPA deal

CORK COUNTY BOARD decided at last night’s reconvened meeting to back the interim arrangement agreed between the GAA and the GPA. On a show of hands 92 delegates voted in favour while 12 were against.

Béara delegate Mick Reynolds proposed Cork support the agreement and he was seconded by Dripsey delegate Tomás Ryan, who said the agreement was a good decision.

“We need to bring the GPA in from the cold”, said Mr Ryan. “The current president of the GAA is a Corkman and he would not be supporting anything that would do damage to the association.”
