Delegates thrash out proposals as Congress looms

Discussion of motions for this weekend’s GAA’s Annual Congress was the main focus of last night’s Cork County Board meeting at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

While the bulk of the items on the list of motions were allowed through without discussion, a number of motions required votes of the delegates in attendance, with strong opposition shown in some cases.

Most notably, a motion from the GAA Central Council, seeking to reduce the number of delegates that counties can have at Congress to four, did not receive any support, with John Corcoran (St Mary’s) saying that it was “only right that bigger units were represented by a bigger cohort”.
