Sparks fly at Mayo Board meeting

THERE were heated exchanges at Monday night’s Mayo County Board meeting when delegates uncovered irregularities in the financial running of the supporters’ club.

But the board’s proposal to abandon a strategic plan created by an independent body and adopt Galway’s one created the most anger.

The discussion was part of a debate on the Mayo GAA draft strategic action plan, which called for an audit of finances as well as the appointment of a commercial director to raise money to pay off the €10m loan on the McHale Park development in Castlebar.
