18 clubs attended the third in a series of EGM Info Meetings in Connacht on Thursday evening, led by IABA Board of Directors Chair, Niall O’Carroll.
Also present were IABA Directors Tom Geraghty and Fiona Hennigan, as well as President of the Connaught Council, Sean Clancy.

Formal notice of the time, date and location of the EGM will issue in the coming days.
