No change in election of officers
December 14, 2021
Meath County Board Chairman John Kavanagh
It's as you were on the Meath County Board after all the outgoing officers were returned for another 12 months at last night's online Convention.
There were only three contests on the night and none of the challengers managed to unseat the outgoing candidate.
Oifigeach na Gaeilge Joseph O'Brien (Skryne) defeated Larry McEntee (Nobber) 112 votes to 81.
There were three contenders for two Leinster Council positions, Damien Griffin and Cathal Joyce both outgoing and Nick Fitzgerald (Kildalkey). Griffin was elected on the first count with 113 votes with the other two candidates getting 40 votes each. On the second count (Griffin's surplus) Joyce received 25 more votes with Fitzgerald getting 20 extra, leaving the Clann na nGael club man elected 65 - 60.
Central Council delegate Jason Plunkett was re-elected on a vote of 156 to 36 for Conor Tormey (Donaghmore/Ashbourne).
