A right Royal farce as McEnaney survives vote

Seamus McEnaney last night survived a “no confidence” motion and will remain in charge for Meath’s Leinster SFC first-round game against Wicklow on May 27.

At a tense and dramatic meeting in Arás Tailteann last night, the management committee’s recommendation he be removed from the position failed to receive the required two-thirds majority.

Of the 74 votes (59 club delegates and 15 executive), 43 voted to remove McEnaney, six short of the necessary number. He needed 26 votes against the motion to remain in charge and received 31.
