Bust up at Clare GAA meeting by Páraic McMahon paraic@clareecho.ie
TENSE exchanges at the July County Board meeting have resulted in the departure of Clare GAA’s PRO and calls for the Assistant Treasurer to withdraw unproven claims of “harassment”. Clare GAA’s first meeting off the field since winning a fifth All-Ireland SHC title saw two board officials storm out of the gathering. PRO Anne Hayes and Assistant Treasurer, Sean Chambers walked out of Tuesday’s meeting in Caherlohan after clashing with Chairman Kieran Keating and Head of Operations Deirdre Murphy.
THAT WINNING FEELING
Hayes has called for comments made by the Chairman and Head of Operations at the meeting to be withdrawn. She confirmed on Wednesday to The Clare Echo that she has left her post as PRO. Chambers claimed he had been “harassed” by fellow board officers but when pressed by Keating to provide examples he was unable to do so. Following the meeting, the Chairman asked the Asst Treasurer to back up the allegations or publicly withdraw them, “Should Sean fail to do either, then regretfully I feel his position on the Management Committee will also be untenable”.
