If that's the official Mayo GAA wikipedia page whoever carried out that editing should seriously cop on and return it to it's original state.

Making a mockery of the Mayo GAA community as a whole.

It probably sounded hilarious in their head.

Written down-not so much...

Standard procedure i would imagine? However in a previous statement they said the motion was passed overwhelmingly

By the club delegates. When it wasn't.
They want to control the narrative by only putting out news they want people to know, you can only do that if you control the media. How do you that. You ban the rest and only use your mouthpiece (PRO). The best dictators in the world have done it this way.

But sadly in the world of social media that's no longer possible unless you ban social media. Alas the mayo county board isn't big enough for that.

They made a show of themselves at every step.

Big statement saying the will address every issue in the 1st letter and they don't. The childish song playing at the match. The big meeting with the clubs only no media ones assume to bad mouth Mr o Leary. He has played a blinder though. The 1st letter asking the questions. The second latter giving more detail and the donkey comment which he has had in his back pocket since earlier this year. The 3 letter giving more details about what exactly has been going on and asking to sponsor the team to know the process and the fact it's a terrible deal we have and they county have already agreed to renew it a year out from it's actually date with no bidding process.

Then the legal warning about defamation before the last meeting which was clearly the aim when they banned the media.

The end is nigh for a few members of the county board I'd say.

Latest twist is that someone recorded the meeting and the County Board are investigating.

The donkey comment was common knowledge among many gaa people in the county for some time, it was obviously going to come into the publci domain at some stage. I actually feel sorry for some of the good people on the exec, but at this stage its become such a farce it's hard for any of them to come out of it looking good.

Whoever did that is a total disgrace and needs banning form Mayo GAA. This backs up everything The County board have been saying. Whatever about the county board being out of their depth what gives O'Leary the right to be holding people to ransom?

Who is holding to ramsom.its his money or money his foundation helped raise

He is entitled to ask how it's been spent. If its not going to valid gaa expenses I would be wanting to know too.

How do you assume that it was O’Leary that was behind the recording?

I think it was wrong if people did that, but lots of interested parties involved in being suspicious of the Co Board.

No Mike's should be allowed in.

This could have serious implications for the person who did this without consent. Its taking a new low every day now and you could not make this sh1t up!!

Someone seriously needs to take control and lay out a plan to address all these issue.

I see what you did there.

I don't know if it's old news or not but I heard today that the planned centre of excellence at Loch Lannagh has been shelved for environmental reasons?

This was reported by O'Leary in his latest letter. There has been no confirmation or any info from any other source

Michael Gallagher from Ballycroy has thrown his hat into the ring for the PRO position.

Lengthy interview on CRC with Aidan Crowley.

A very strong candidate me thinks.

Perfect man for the job, so, you know what that means.....
