Rory Gallagher accuses GAA president of sabotage over Naas intervention

Advertisements

In the email to Naas GAA, Mr Burns said the “appointment of Rory Gallagher given the allegations that have been made public, risks undermining the principles of the Game Changer Initiative and the positive work being done across the GAA”.

He added: “The controversy surrounding his personal life has created significant division and concern within the wider GAA community.

“Such a decision by Naas GAA could have far reaching consequences.”

Mr Burns added the appointment would likely “polarise opinion” and create unnecessary tension within the club and he questioned the “confusing message” it would send to younger members.

In conclusion the GAA president said he had “no authority to dictate club decisions” but he had a “responsibility to advocate” for what he believed was in the best interests of the association and its members.

“By choosing not to proceed with this appointment you will be making a statement about the principles that define Naas GAA,” he added.
