Kildare club reversed their decision to appoint Gallagher as coach after a public backlash and email intervention by Burns
Rory Gallagher threatens legal action unless GAA president Jarlath Burns retracts Naas email“Despite having engaged with due process and procedure, it seems clear that the president has now opted to take matters into his own hands,” stated Gallagher.
“I await with interest to see if Mr Burns takes such direct personal action against others who find their private life the subject of social media commentary and hyperbole. “The chilling effect of these actions cannot be greater. Mr Burns’ actions not only undermine the very principles of fairness and equality to which the GAA is premised, but it sends a clear message that such dictatorial action can and will be taken, when the president sees fit.
