Jarlath Burns

[Tubberman]

Haven't been following this at all. Did Jarlath intervene or did he write a letter to Naas expressing concern?

Email

Did the email raise concerns about Naas taking on RG or did Burns say do not go ahead with the appointment?

There's loads of media coverage of it you can read. He expressed his concerns but said they (Naas) had autonomy to make their own decisions.

Which Kielty called him out on.

I still don't understand Naas bringing this clusterfuck down on themselves. They would have 100% known there would be huge issues and distractions as a result, even from within the club. Surely that was going to outweigh the potential benefits.

Naas are looking to go further in Leinster having pushed Cuala this year

Like Jim McGuinness wanted Sam
Post Jim Donegal board wanted Sam
Fermanagh wanted Ulster
Derry wanted Sam
Corduff want Ulster

Gallagher must be an excellent coach therefore they sought his expertise, note, he isn't barred from coaching or managing having been through the GAA safeguarding processes

Naas aren't the issue

It was Jarlath who brought the media strom to the door of a mother father and 3 children, highly irresponsible

I agree that JB shouldn't have got involved. But completely disagree on whether Naas should have sought out RG given the complete circus that was going to follow. Even from within their own club. Naas 100% were part of the issue.

Exactly this.jb shouldn't have got involved but not many clubs would have a happy membership bringing a boy like this in.

+1

All the teams that he took before this all kicked off don't want him now so are hardly relevant.
That leaves Corduff & Naas (before Burns' intervention).

There a few posters on here backing J Burns here no matter the contradiction.

Was the problem not he was disbarred but that the safeguarding process couldn't disbar anyone in relation to adults because their powers were in conflict with the official guide?

Just because he wasn't barred doesn't mean Naas wouldn't have known that his appointment would have had the potential for major outside controversy and internal conflict, regardless of Jarlath Burns.

Exactly.  Never mind the circus it would bring, what about the major risk of losing half your club over this.  There are other good coaches out there.

But does that make it the correct call? Herd mentality. Look, all of it could be true, some of it or none of it, but don't pick and choose, as there will be plenty of emails or calls to plenty of clubs

If the GAA has flawed procedures he should act for change in that regard and not move the goalposts with an intervention designed to persecute one individual with their family as collateral

He's used the Gallagher family as a political football to kick start his Game Changer initiative

He's a "career coach", we don't know who would/wouldn't have him back

I keep hearing the issues were well known, it makes a mockery of Jim McGuinness claims of a duty of care to his players

Or maybe RG presented no risk to Donegal players, which begs the question, what risk did he pose to Naas players?

I'm sure there's boys with a few issues looking after LGFA teams, but they're tolerated in the pursuit of wins

The GAA might want to create something like role based charters/procedures and have everyone sign up depending on what role(s) they occupy, Presidental witch hunts can't be allowed to continue

The craic with Aaron Gillan disappeared after Christmas 2023, so in general Linerick seem to have a off field discipline issue.
