MONAGHAN SENIOR FOOTBALL manager Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney has been suspended for 12 weeks by the county board following his team’s training breach.
Gardaí are investigating after a dossier on a squad training session in violation of Covid-19 restrictions and GAA rules was passed to officials at the Department of Justice.
Following their own internal investigation, Monaghan GAA confirmed on Thursday afternoon that McEnaney has been suspended with immediate effect.
“Monaghan GAA acknowledge that following an investigation this morning, there was a breach of the Covid-19 regulations and guidelines,” a statement read.
“Resulting from an internal investigation, our senior team manager, Seamus McEnaney, has admitted that this was a serious error of judgement and apologies [sic] unreservedly for the indiscretion.
“The county management committee have suspended the Monaghan GAA senior football manager Seamus McEnaney for 12 weeks with immediate effect and will fully cooperate and comply with any Croke Park investigation.”
The training session in question is reported to have taken place at Corduff GAA Club on the last weekend of March.
Although the senior inter-county GAA season is slated to begin next month, collective training is not allowed to resume until 19 April.

A very good squad and really shows the young talent in LOI but would have liked Reghba in there,not sure if he’s officially still LOI though.These supplemented with the likes of Kelleher,Nolan,Masterson,Parrott,Obafemi,Johansson,O’Conno,rConnolly,Idah,Ronan and Doyle-Hayes is exciting!
@Nic Antonio: A clear indication that Reghba is bound for Leicester? Kenny name-checked him as a home based player that he’d involve.
Kenny a great appointment ; there’ll be serious strides made with him.
A lad born and reared in Dundalk declaring for the North.
I’ve seen it all now.
@Colm O’Sullivan: Yeah, you must not have seen this lad though.
Really enjoy Andrews punditry very modern day take on the game glad to see him involved fresh ideas.
What’s the story with the lad who declared for the North there so? Does he just refuse ROI or has he changed his mind again? Strange after declaring there. Nice squad
Will Fitzgerald (limerick) so good they named him twice
That Ireland jersey from
2013 Andrews is pictured in was mint!
@Colm O’Sullivan: Mint green ? Not sure it is
