Jarlath Burns

I find it crazy that so many people on here were fully aware of the allegations years before his ex-wife spoke out. Why did these same people not take any kind of stand or speak out? Or are they just chatting dung as I never heard a whisper of the allegations before.

Remember we all laughed at the Fr Ted sketch of John and Mary beating the head off each other, be careful jumping to conclusions in the case of domestic abuse allegations

I've nothing more to add but couldn't help but laugh at this being brought up as some form of argument. The joke behind that sketch isn't "hahaha lads, hasn't domestic violence hilarious hahaha" FFS.

Please explain the punchline, pardon the pun

There was rumours going about but sure how do you know what to believe or not believe

Watched Jarlath's interview again.

He talked about this  new GAA safeguarding policy (or whatever it's called). And  that there's a "way back" for RG, but didn't state what that way back actually consisted  of

JB  also said it was ultimately up to Naas if they hired RG. So, surely if Naas did hire RG  as coach , then that was his "way back"?

Or am  I missing something?

I asked this question earlier in the thread and still no answer on it.

what is the way back? GAA apparently don't do cancel culture, but essentially this is what is happening here now led by JB whether he likes it or not.

So I would be really interested if someone could enlighten us to what the way back is?

Did JB say something along the lines that RG knows what the way back is?
Does that mean he has been speaking directly to RG too I wonder?

Implies he has. Sounded to me like he wants some sort of acknowledgment or public statement from him.

This "way back" , is obviously,   a way back into coaching. 

But if Naas hired RG  (as JB said, they were fully entitled to do), then surely , he is back?

So, really ,this GAA  safeguarding policy means nothing (in this instance, anyway)?  Because it was ultimately up to Naas and RG  to decide whether he became their coach?

My point is JB referred to a 'way back' which obviously means he has made something clear to RG that he would have to do in order to able to be considered for coaching teams in the future.

What is that expectation of RG? what is he supposed/ expected to do?
Has this been laid out to him officially from the GAA President or is it a JB solo run setting a requirement before he could be 'back'?

[GTP]

My point is JB referred to a 'way back' which obviously means he has made something clear to RG that he would have to do in order to able to be considered for coaching teams in the future.

Is it not more a case that he has a way back that JB approves of? As other posters have said if he had been appointed coach at Naas then he would be back and that was the end of it.
If JB acted unilaterally as GAA President to deter Naas from appointing a coach, as he felt it was wrong, I think it was an inappropriate use of that position. As there are to the best of my knowledge no allegations against RG that relate to the adult safeguarding of male adult GAA teams he should be allowed to coach, as distasteful as some may find this.
Also, whilst it is fine for this high-profile case were allegations and known (although unproven) how is the average club meant to deal with similar issues? The GAA is not the investigative body for domestic violence and whilst educations and initiatives to prevent it are admirable judging members on alleged crimes or indeed proven ones is a step too far.

Abuse of power - a man doing it his own way - that shit won't be tolerated in the new integrated organisation, going to need a serious HR function when that gets over the line

[Wildweasel74]

It's abit like the DUP minster Paul Givan, going against all advice to make Bangor Academy integrated, with no reason in his decision not too, except he was minster and can do it what he wants.
