Patrick O’Sullivan calls on GPA to encourage best players to stay

An American passport holder, Kerry chairman Patrick O’Sullivan was entitled to vote in Tuesday’s Presidential Election but chose not to.

“I didn’t because there wasn’t anyone worth voting for! The man who’s elected is elected and everyone has to row in behind him. It would have been the same if it were Hillary (Clinton) who won.”

New York-born O’Sullivan’s US contacts were integral to the massive Stateside funding drive Kerry embarked on in his five years of chairmanship, which concludes in the middle of next month. It has meant the costs attributed to the construction of county’s centre of excellence in Currans (more of that another time) has been greatly offset although it wasn’t easy when they had competition in raising finances there.
