Declan Bogue Reports from GAA Congress GAA PRESIDENT JARLATH Burns has laid out the staggering situation the sporting body finds itself in trying to make progress on the derelict site of Casement Park .
“I spoke extensively about Casement in my speech, I gave the facts about Casement, that’s how I like to operate, facts,” said Burns at the conclusion of the GAA Congress in Donegal town on Saturday. Burns continued, “That was the 31st of October. I wrote to him on the 20th of December asking where he had got to with those action points.
“He has yet to attend a match of hurling or football. And if you look at the success that the GAA has had in the last year in Ulster, and what we won, and he hasn’t attended any of those. “They are becoming extremely frustrated. So I wish I could be optimistic, but unfortunately it’s really only pessimism on Casement at the moment.”
