Clubs question board in hunt for secretary

THE Cork County Board has contravened GAA rules by appointing a sub-committee to deal with replacing current county board secretary Frank Murphy, according to clubs within the county.

Last Tuesday, Cork County Board chairman Jerry O’Sullivan told delegates at a board meeting: “There is a sub-committee working away on the issue (of the new secretary) and they’ll continue to work on that. We’ll be letting you know in due course.”

However, the Cork GAA Club Forum pointed out that under the general rules of the Association, a sub-committee must be “established by the county board as a whole”.
