Duffy: 'Bitegate' incident a low point in 2013

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 21 Januari 2014 | 23.06

In his wide-ranging report to Congress, GAA Director General Páraic Duffy has said that one of the low points of 2013 came in April, during the Allianz Football League clash between Dublin and Donegal in Ballybofey. 

He stated that there is agreement on the fact that Donegal player, Paddy McBrearty sustained a severe bite to his arm.

He said that was a disgusting and shocking incident in itself, but what is just as reprehensible, he says, is that no one could be held to account for what happened.

He said the Central Control Competitions Committee (CCCC) investigated the matter but was greatly hindered by the absence of video and other evidence.  

He also stated that the counties involved may have chosen to deal with the incident solely in terms of their own interests but they did not emerge with any credit and succeeded only in damaging the Association.

In the report Duffy also proposed bringing in a rule that if a county has not completed their county championship by the first Sunday in October or close to that date then they would not be permitted to enter a team in the provincial club championship.

The implementation of such a rule he hoped would lead to a situation where the majority of club games are played during the summer months.
