There's a part of me hopes he cleans them out.

It’s bizarre. The system seems banjaxed.
Only 2 weeks ago, I was told about a situation in a club here in Cork. A coach is not allowed by the courts to see his own children unsupervised because of abuse, but is coaching away other underage kids, his own child’s age!

Good point. Surely it is down to Garda Vetting and legal rulings that should make the GAA's lives easier when ensuring all club coaches are fit to coach teams.

Garda vetting will only pick up criminal convictions, so if there is a no contact order in a family court because of abuse then it won't show up in vetting.

It is definitely something that needs to be amended, but because family law is held in camera it would be really hard to enforce.

It's nowhere near as straightforward as that though.

Nothing is straight forward of course. It is a grey area for sure. And Rory Gallagher is right to sue Jarlath Burns, even though Burns felt he was morally doing the right thing.

This is where social media generated outrage meets the hard cold facts of people wearing black gowns and horse hair wigs for a living, it’ll be interesting to see how this goes, there are a lot of counties looking for new management teams at the moment

That's terrible.
If he didnt have criminal conviction, the supervision order should have still be disclosed under specified information relating to the applicant.

Whats going on in regards payments being made to these coaches on the IC merry go around?

I presume they have set up some sort of company and are invoicing the relevant County Boards for some services, but not directly for GAA coaching?

It's hardly still all under the counter and cash in hand given the high profile?

A club or County board can legitimately pay for everything else needed but GAA coaching because of GAA internal rules yes?

So If Davy for example invoiced for S&C coaching or consultancy fees he could be payed within the rules of the Association??

If he has a criminal conviction for abuse he shouldn't pass the garda vetting...provided the club carries out vetting.

I would always take these things with caution as with family law cases and bitterness there is a lot of accusations and outright lies thrown around. I encounter it professionally a fair bit.

If this is true however and the club are aware of it then that is a very serious issue.
