"This motion suggests that there is something fundamentally wrong at the heart of the Association," while Europe delegated Tony Bass feared it would lead to "vilification and witch hunts."83 per cent of delegates voted against. Griffin this week urged delegates to pass the motion in his quest for honesty and openness within the GAA but, having been rebuffed, the response on social media seemed to be heavily in the founding CPA member's favour. https://twitter.com/colemanajohn/status/967416655629430787 https://twitter.com/SylBarron92/status/967418838408204290 https://twitter.com/Coachfordnews/status/967417411996672001 https://twitter.com/Woolberto/status/967417127606071302 https://twitter.com/CahairOKane1/status/967435828598362113 Transparency in the voting process was the topic of a fascinating discussion on The GAA Hour football show this week, with the panel divided on the benefits of passing.

The transparency debate is the first thing discussed.
