O’Mahony hits out at intercounty spending

Former Mayo footballer Fr. Dan O’Mahony has raised the question of putting players in charge of teams in financially-stricken counties.

O’Mahony, chairman of Cloonacool, queried Sligo’s ability to afford a manager after their debts rose by approximately €200,000 to over €1.7 million.

He made the comments at the county’s annual convention last Thursday where he said players were being “mollycoddled out of existence”.
