Alarm at how the discovery of €176,000 in two bank accounts came into the public domain dominated Cork GAA’s monthly county board meeting on Tuesday night.

As chairman Marc Sheehan revealed he hoped the full report by the county’s audit and risk committee would be available at the next board meeting on July 6, several delegates expressed disappointment about how the details of the probe were revealed by the Irish Examiner late last week.
