Donegal GAA chairman Fergus McGee admitted earlier this week that the position needed to be filled as a matter of urgency.
“It is the most important task for the GAA in the county. Hopefully, we will have quality candidates to interview and after we receive applications, we will then put in place an interview panel,” he said.
“I would like that panel to be a five-person panel with a strong football pedigree and it would be my wish that one of the panel would be from outside the county.
“The matter will be up for discussion at our next Co Committee meeting, which is set for Monday, July 10th.”
