Horan plots Mayo’s seven-point plan for world domination

“MAYO could become a super-power of the GAA world”.

That is the bold statement of the county’s strategic action plan committee chairman Liam Horan after launching the document on Saturday.

While acknowledging the remark could come back to bite him, Horan made the statement in the belief Mayo’s fortunes on the playing field can prosper if they succeed in tapping into the unrivalled amount of demographic wealth they possess. Creating a worldwide supporters club and repatriating funds from major Irish centres across the globe is one of seven key recommendations made in the plan, which also include the appointments of a director of football coaching and a commercial director.
