New Cork City owner Usher reveals shock at 86% backing from FORAS members

This accord doesn’t dissolve FORAS as an entity, for Usher has agreed in the contract to hold quarterly meetings with the fans-led Trust as well as an annual townhall with members.

BACKED: New Cork City owner Dermot Usher said the margin by which his takeover was approved by Foras members is ‘a clear message to get me off on the right foot with the supporters and volunteers’.

Businessman Dermot Usher admitted his shock at the landslide 86% backing he received from FORAS members to take full ownership of Cork City.

Members of the Friends of the Rebel Army Society (FORAS) were allowed to quiz Usher before the ballot was taken at the Clayton Hotel in Cork City on Sunday.
