The price of tinkering with a Munster final

Outgoing Munster Council chairman Jimmy O’Gorman predicts challenging times ahead for the GAA. Colm O’Connor reports.

THE unexpected cold snap in early January meant an unusual Sunday occurrence for Jimmy O’Gorman.

“With the snow and frost there were no games on anywhere,” he recounts. “My wife Anne remarked it was the first time in years that we sat down and enjoyed Sunday lunch together at home in Lismore. The GAA has been always been part of my life whether it was with club, divisional, county or at Munster Council level.”
