Munster rivals mirror Cork’s opposition to vote transparency

Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford will oppose the Club Players’ Association motion to make all delegates accountable for their votes at Congress.

The motion was submitted by St Mary’s in Rosslare, home to former All-Ireland-winning Wexford manager and CPA executive member Liam Griffin. It proposes that every delegate’s vote at Congress be recorded, displayed, and published in the minutes. Traceability, in effect, is what the CPA is seeking.

Under the old ‘show of hands’ system, it was evident how each delegate voted at Congress and therefore, made it far easier to identify county board officials who voted in contrary to what had been agreed within their own county.
