Kerry chairman highlights pressure on volunteers

Kerry GAA chairman Tim Murphy has said the main governance challenge facing the association is volunteers being held to account in areas where they may not have sufficient expertise.

The controversies which have engulfed the Galway and Mayo county boards in recent times highlight the vast sums of money volunteer officers are being asked to manage and while Murphy made reference to neither in his speech to yesterday’s Kerry convention, he said the workload being placed on those serving at county board level is “enormous”.
