Just in case any of ye have designs on securing one of the top jobs in the country. It will be interesting to see if the GAA go for another safe pair of hands from the teaching profession within the GAA or for someone like Pat Gilroy from the outside business world with a GAA background but was considered too radical last time out. We enter interesting times as the club game struggles to find its voice, rural clubs are in decline while SKY will want to throw millions at the Super Eights over the coming years. Club volunteers and the elite in the Super Eights. Parallel worlds moving further apart or swinging on their axis to become polarised opposites? The role and type of person required will be a huge call for the GAA in an every changing world. www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/flynns-company-in-search-for-gaa-boss-36413101.html |

A fine balancing act indeed.
It would be interesting to see what the interview panel is like, who is involved and what the questions are !
Will there be, for example, be a section on the music of Taylor Swift or maybe one asking candidates to prepare a plan to assist a small rural club with declining player numbers and dwindling number of volunteers?

Anyone can apply, no experience or education needed. Just anyone who is willing to do the job. |

Funny how an organisation with annual revenues in excess of €60 million doesn’t require their CEO to have a business degree.

From my experiences of these situations- theres nearly always a prefered candidate in advance of the job ad being posted. I'd imagine said prefered candidate doesnt have a business degree and they only realised this after the process had kicked off. On your point- it is a surprise on one hand but if the person has extensive business experience then this would far outweigh anything that they studied a good few years back |

The role is to implement the mission and vision of the association - the new appointee needs to be reminded of what these are (as do those given the task of interviewing and selecting) and that they clearly prioritise community and not elitism. The club and not the county is the primary mission of the association according to what is set out but the county (and the even smaller group of elite counties) have taken over the mindset of the GAA hierarchy with everything else structured around this. www.gaa.ie/the-gaa/administration/ |

We lose a few to schools rugby and "other interests" from u15 up usually. It can be a bit of a juggling act to be fair but we have some great mentors in our group. Good complaint really. |

The whole south Kerry (football district) area has substantially less than that number of 100 going into first year on year now. It might average at 60-70% of that number over the next 10 years or so. Some of the primary schools have had no junior infants in recent years. |

Our biggest problem is finding enough pitches or training facilities. We have about 400 kids between 5 and 8 years of age in our nursery every Saturday. We have just been turfed out of the school pitches we have been using for years as the land has been sold for houses (That's a whole saga in itself). It's a great problem to have regarding the numbers but it is like a small military operation every week and renting slots on Dublin Corpo astro pitches are costing a small fortune. I think we are the second or third biggest club in the country behind Ballyboden and Kilmacud. |

Cuala have no pitches of their own on the South side either |

I thought Nafianna were the biggest club . They field more players across all ages than any other club in the country.

Would you trust the accounts to any child in a county like that? Anyway, I hope Pat Gilroy doesn't get the job. |

It would be a great feeling supporting the GAA's pet project.
I am surprised you still derive joy from it
