Special Congress to discuss problems in AAI

OVER half the county boards affiliated to the Athletics Association of Ireland have demanded a Special Congress to discuss the problems within that organisation.

Approximately 15 boards, including Dublin and Cork, have decided to support a call for an EGM to discuss concerns regarding management structures and the delayed implementation of a strategic plan.

According to Article 7.3, such a meeting would require the support of one third of the country boards and this has now been exceeded.
