Pardon my ignorance but what does a coaching officer do?
Well, Fergal Byron was the coaching officer before and I have seen him do f##k all. So anyone that wanted it could possibly do it.
Maybe I'm being unfair but id be of a similar mind to you, What i saw of him in the position, he contributed very little in public or in meetings.
Martin Byrne as Treasurer on the other hand has been exceptional these past 13 years, fully across his brief, articulate and a very capable officer.
One thing alone would tell you how brilliant he was at his job, the Centre of excellence came in at 2% over budget from start to finish, compare and contrast with nearly every other build of consequence in this country, Paschal McEvoy has big shoes to fill.
Coaching Officer, Development Officer and PRO currently have no one to take them on,3 Vacant and Vital positions, which actually involve hard work and leadership.
Still at least we had an election for lads to go to Congress.
