Also had the bizarre situation that, as Gerry McEnaney had stepped down from Council after 20 years as the Defence Forces member last year before going back on as a replacement council member for Football for All after the second rep they were awarded in the GRG process stepped down on 31st December, the new President was entitled to stand but wasn't entitled to vote in today's election. Rule book is a mess.

That’s exactly it.
The constitution (rulebook) of the FAI is the problem. It need to be shredded and rewritten to enable reform to happen.

Gerry McAnaney is a likeable man who I'm pretty sure will have the game as priority and not about himself. A big Cork City fan and ex goalkeeper for I think UCC.
Not so sure about being an Anti Delaney head. Maybe in private but not so much in public. He's a fresh face and it's needed as Conways move on well well overdue

This is the general consensus from people that know him, the fact that he had about double the votes says as much too.

time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

The Defence Forces affiliate that he represented for 20 years and the Football for All one that he stood for election under both fall into the 'Others' grouping that our seats, and the PFAI ones, have been banded into so we've had dealinsg with him since the AGM. He is a likeable character and I'd hope that his election will help that group, which was very much sidelined in the past, find its voice. Very difficultt for anyone who served on council the last 15 years to credibly put themselves forward as an Anti Delaney head as those that did were basically removed.

If they bring in the rule where you can only serve 10 years on Senior Council 80% will be gone. As for Junior and Schoolboy Councils they will be surely gone.

The board have to force through the changes as their part of the conditions securing the funding they need. We will see now if the blazers care about themselves or the game more.
