I see you guys heard our news!
It's been a hard road since this time last year, raking up horrible memories on top of our grief but we had to do it for Stephen and for Daddy. The last thing we wanted was going to the media but Reid left us no choice since he and his club ignored all our correspondence. He even ignored a direct plea from my younger brother who phoned him and asked him straight to step down as a mark of respect to Daddy.
We met with Danny Murphy and Ryan Feeney twice to voice our grievance but they were powerless because each club is autonomous. I don't know of any other governing body that has no control or say regarding who represents their organisation which I feel is very wrong and something should be done to make sure scum like Reid are prevented from taking office in the future - even if this means changing the very constitution of the GAA.
Thanks again for all your emails and support over the last year.
