Frank Murphy to step down in December 2018, confirms Ger Lane

Veteran Cork GAA secretary Frank Murphy will continue in office until December 2018, it has been confirmed.

Chairman Ger Lane said yesterday he had initiated discussions with Mr Murphy about extending his contract for another year to ensure that crucial contractual elements of the Páirc Ui Chaoimh redevelopment were seen through to a satisfactory conclusion.

He also confirmed that the GAA management in Croke Park will have a hands-on role in the appointment of Frank Murphy’s successor next year.
