Clare GAA chairman to run for Fianna Fáil in General Election

Michael McDonagh was selected in Ennis last night.

CLARE COUNTY BOARD chairman Michael McDonagh is set to run for Fianna Fáil in the upcoming General Election.

McDonagh was selected last night in Ennis and will now join Timmy Dooley, the sitting Fianna Fáil TD in Clare, on the party ticket.

During the week Miltown-Malbay native McDonagh was embroiled in a war of words with Clare hurling legend Ger Loughnane in local newspaper The Clare Champion. 

Loughnane accused McDonagh of only being interested ‘in his own popularity’ and his political career rather than the future of Clare hurling.

McDonagh hit back to defend his record and described Loughnane’s comments as ‘intentionally misleading’ and with the intention of damaging his candidacy.

His future as Clare county board chairman remains unclear.

    Nope I’m sorry but Ray Ridge aka Aidan Farrell has declared you useless so you may as well pack your bags because he is the all knowing all seeing authority on everything. Don’t be using the fact you had to come back from a potential career ending injury after arriving as an excuse. Or the fact it takes time to adapt to the style and system. You should just be world class immediately. Look at kolisi how he adapted so well in France and Kitchoff in Ulster. Both hit the ground running.

    @anthony davoren: nothing about world class dropping every ball that comes near him. Unfortunately I have to agree with him this time he’s been a very poor signing.
