New GAA president McCarthy names CCCC Committee
Sunday 28th February 2021
Wexford man Derek Kent has been named as the new chair of the GAA's CCCC for next three years. He will be joined by former Donegal star Martin McHugh, John Halbert (Cork), Mary Judge (Galway), and ex-Meath captain Seamus Kenny.
Meath and Westmeath solicitors Brian Rennick and Matt Shaw are to swap roles with Rennick taking over the chair of the Central Hearings Committee that Shaw oversaw in John Horan’s time in charge. Former Disputes Resolution Authority secretary Shaw returns to the Central Appeals Committee having guided it in Aogán Farrell’s three years in office.
Rennick will be assisted by Aoife Farrelly (Meath), Micheál Óg McMahon (Monaghan), Denis Holmes (Limerick), Tod O'Mahony (Mayo), Gerry Hagan (Longford), Sean Dunnion (Donegal), Gerry Larkin (Galway) and Michael Wadding (Waterford). On Shaw's body is Julie Galbraith (Donegal), Neil Sheridan (Mayo), Willie O'Connor (Kerry), Tom Farrell (Westmeath), Eddie Hughes (Armagh), Paul Foley (Limerick), Gerry Kavanagh (Laois) and Enda Tiernan (Leitrim).
In his speech earlier today, McCarthy revealed there would be a strong female presence in his committees and that is evidenced by the appointments of Judge, Farrelly, and Galbraith.
Speaking of the Central Council meeting that followed Congress, he said: “At that meeting the members of the statutory committees of the Association will be proposed. I am happy to tell you that, I believe, for the first time, a female member is being proposed for each of those committees.
“I am hopeful that the candidates will all be accepted, and each will make a significant contribution to the Association in their own right.”
The full list of committee chairs could be revealed in the coming days.
