Clubs call for ‘agreed written plan’ for Cork GAA family

Sister clubs Lyre and Banteer are seeking a “clearly defined and agreed written plan” for the future of Cork GAA, and have called on other clubs to hold special meetings so that members’ views can be aired.

In a wide-ranging statement released at the weekend on behalf of the clubs’ officers and the members, Lyre and Banteer made a number of suggestions.

These include a proper review of the recent discussion document issued by Cork County Board coaching officer Kevin O’Donovan, with a view to inputting suggestions; the collection and compilation of reports already completed and in progress; and the reviewing of best practice and systems based on those in operation in counties like Dublin and Kilkenny, as well as in other sports.
