Howlin considers presidency race

THE race to become the next GAA president is, for now, a three-horse race, but could shortly be reduced to two if outgoing Leinster chairman Sheamus Howlin follows Con Hogan’s example and withdraws his candidacy.

Former Tipperary chairman Hogan yesterday pulled out of the GAA presidency race, leaving Laois’ Liam O’Neill, Donegal’s Tom Daly and Wexford’s Howlin as the three remaining candidates.

However, Wexford native Howlin is still deliberating whether to put his name forward for the vote at Annual Congress in Mullingar, Co Westmeath on Friday, April 15.
