Clubs angry about board’s stance on convention motions

ANGER is growing among Cork GAA clubs over the Cork County Board’s motions sub-committee’s refusal to allow certain motions on the clár for the upcoming county convention – and the procedure for re-submitting such motions.

Motions that clubs submitted have been rejected by the board’s motions committee at the time of going to press, but one club which tabled a motion was advised that while an appeal against that decision would be heard by the board’s management committee, it was also informed by the board that all the members of the management committee had been on the motions committee as well.

This has raised questions about the appropriateness of having an appeal on a board decision heard by the same board members who rejected the motion in the first place.
