Board suspends ex-Meath boss Eamonn Barry in Royal rumpus

Meath GAA’s management committee has handed down a shock eight-week suspension to one of its members, coaching and games officer, Eamonn Barry.

At a board meeting, Barry attempted to raise the manner of the appointment of an underage football manager but was prevented from doing so by chairman Conor Tormey, who earlier followed Barry around the room and confiscated “offending literature” which was handed out to board delegates.

“The contents of a letter handed out by a certain individual will not be discussed,” said the chairman.
