RG at arms length

[RedHand88]

I don't think theres a safegaurding issue around Gallagher at all if he's not taking womens teams. It's more to do with him being a sc**bag.

There needs to be a process in place for things like this and as much as I can't stand the man, Burns can't be going off on solo runs like that. And before that other dose replies with an essay I'm not a zionist or a conservative or whatever other bile you come out with.

You're just a person who disagrees with a safeguarding expert on safeguarding, domestic violence victims on their views on how allegations aren't taken seriously and the GAA president on how he runs the GAA.

The biggest issue you can't be arsed to address is that Burns would never have needed to act if clubs like Naas and Corduff didn't act disgracefully.

Can you point me in the direction of your posts about your former All Ireland winning manager providing a character reference for a convicted Rapist? Do you not regard that as a safeguarding issue?

Ah don't tell me that dose is from Tyrone.
I'm mortified. On behalf of my county I would like to apologise.

To be fair to HOG, Marcella Leonard is a senior social worker with extensive knowledge in this area. Also most of what has been said is in agreement with most of the posters on here. I've stressed that no prosecution decisions or acquittals should not in isolation be determinative of the issue.

That said I don't agree with everything she says. There are considerable legal issues to safeguarding and to the whole situation that she evidently is unaware of.

As a result she is entitled to her opinion and it's a very relevant factor to be taken into account but like all the other factors identified on previous pages it is not in isolation determinative of the issue.

As I've said multiple if the association followed its own protocols and concluded there was any safeguarding risk I would be perfectly happy to see RG disbarred. Similarly if such a process saw the opposite I would be content with same. The problem comes when those protocols are undermined which I feel they have been in this instance.

Do we have our very own GAA board catfish scenario going on here?

A former player is not the same as a current manager.

If Doherty wanted to coach or manage, then yes, safeguarding is an issue here. Until then....
