Assistant treasurer Michael Diskin has become the second member of the Mayo county board executive to resign in the wake of the controversy surrounding the process which saw Noel Connelly and Pat Holmes appointed as the new football management.

Diskin - who was heavily involved in the establishment of the Cairde Mhaigheo fundraising group - had expressed his unhappiness with how the appointment process was handled. His resignation follows that of cultural officer Gerry Bourke earlier this week, with at least one further resignation expected.

Embattled Mayo chairman Paddy McNicholas was last night forced to apologise to a county board meeting for 'errors' made during the appointment process.
