Business gurus get behind Kildare

KILDARE GAA have revealed the two mystery men they hope will get the Lilywhites out of the red.

A crippling €200,000 debt forced the county board to bring in former EU commissioner and Finance Minister Charlie McCreevy as an advisor recently. Last night they added ESB chief executive Padraig McManus and Tegral managing director Paddy Kelly’s names to the special committee.

“We are looking at how we can exploit other commercial markets and there’s some high-powered people who would be committed, passionate Kildare GAA people who are looking to work at that with me,” said the board’s commercial director, Martin McEvoy.
