'The whole experience had a significant impact on our mental health' - Departed Mayo players release strong statement
In a strong statement released this morning, the 12 players and two of the management team who left the panel said the "whole experience had a significant impact on their mental health".
The statement claimed:
The players all left because of player welfare issues
Whole experience had a significant impact on their mental health
It was not due to selection issues nor to one or two players
Reasons for leaving were related to player welfare issues that were personal, and were sensitive
A number of players but most notably our captain Sarah Tierney has endured an extremely difficult relationship with the Mayo manager over the 2018 season
Lack of communication, being undermined, intimidated, feeling isolated and eventually helpless in the entire situation
Mediation, which was another opportunity for engagement and agreement (even to disagree) was hindered by what we believe was an unfair process.

This is going down a seriously ill-advised and disappointing road now.
