Cork delegates blast County Board: ‘That statement, you wouldn’t see it in Father Ted’

“It was eight days later, it wasn’t compiled overnight, no reporter put a microphone in front of anybody unexpectedly."

Delegates at a meeting of Cork County Board last night made the most of their opportunity to express dissatisfaction at the recent statement regarding outgoing Cork football manager Brian Cuthbert.

The Cork Board were strongly criticised for the reference they made to Padraig Hughes in the statement, saying: “It is quite probable that but for a totally wrong refereeing decision in that game, Cork would now be in an All-Ireland semi-final.”
