With our present chairman stepping down, there are a lot of names being talked about as a successor. Mary Coughlan, Aodh Martin O Feargaigh, Cieran Kelly, Frankie Doherty. What are peoples views on who is best for the job. My own preference would be Aodh Martin, as he was brilliant as secretary. donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 310 - 16/11/2017 10:45:33 2062628 Link

It;l be interesting to see how many leave there name in. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 16/11/2017 12:03:29 2062641 Link

Would fully agree with Aodh O'Fearraigh as being the best man for the job and would be a popular choice. I hear Mary Coughlan is also standing. She'd bring fresh ideas which would be good. fatkeeper (Dublin) - Posts: 316 - 16/11/2017 23:15:31 2062792 Link

I could be completely wrong but I'd prefer not to have her as chairperson. donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 310 - 17/11/2017 10:59:37 2062834 Link
Aodh Mairtin is on two committees in Croke park not sure if he'd give up the fast lane there to come to Donegals rescue, because thats the way its heading with the names in for the chair a disaster! PastandPresent (Donegal) - Posts: 345 - 20/11/2017 13:43:24 2063086 Link

Hi donegaldouble, looks like you are getting your wish, MC withdrawing her name for position of Chairperson. Great news indeed. AudiMan (Donegal) - Posts: 648 - 29/11/2017 11:52:27 2063979 Link
Replying To AudiMan: "Hi donegaldouble, looks like you are getting your wish, MC withdrawing her name for position of Chairperson. Great news indeed." I see that. Does anybody know if Aodh Martin is actually going for it? I would genuinely love to see him get it. If he is it will prob be between him and Mick Mc Grath. donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 310 - 30/11/2017 10:51:03 2064090 Link
Looks like Mick Mc Grath is going to get the job. everybody else is pulling out of the race. donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 310 - 05/12/2017 17:36:15 2064496 Link
I suppose its me beng a bit sceptical but its strange the way its panning out McGrath in the chair and O.Cannon looking for the coaching officers post, both of them were part of Bonners backroom team, looks like lining his ducks up in a row with the county exec, but as I said it might just be me seeing it that way!

It does look that way a bit alright. Can't see Oisin getting in ahead of Conor Mc dermott though. donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 310 - 06/12/2017 13:23:16 2064543 Link
