‘Momentous night’ as Tyrone elect Roisin first female chairman

The GAA’s first female chairman was elected in an historic move last night when Roisin Jordan landed the top job in Tyrone.

A member of the Eglish club, she has served five years as vice-chair and succeeds Ciaran McLaughlin, who completed his five-year term.

She was elected unopposed, after the other two nominees for the position, Donal Magee of Killyclogher and Clogher’s Eugene McConnell, withdrew from the contest.
