Clare GAA official apologises for 'hurtful and embarrassing' comments

Clare GAA treasurer Michael Gallagher has apologised for 'hurtful and embarrassing' comments he made relating to a club official at a meeting of the County Board last Monday night.

Gallagher claimed that the primary motive behind a fundraiser organised by Éire Óg's Niall O’Connor was to 'embarrass the board.' O'Connor has overseen a campaign that raised €4,000 for the provision of post-training meals for Clare's U20 hurling team.
