The Executive Board of Mayo GAA has officially apologised to Kevin McStay for the statement released following his dismissal as manager of the senior football team.
Last month, McStay was relieved of his duties as senior boss after three years, and the wording of the announcement by Mayo GAA was widely criticised.
At a meeting last night, between the Executive and Mayo club representatives, Vice Chairperson Michael Diskin read out a statement on behalf of Mayo GAA.
In the statement, the Executive “express clearly and unreservedly that it was never the intention of the Executive to cause offence.
“The manner and tone of the original communication didn’t adequately reflect the deep respect and appreciation we hold for Kevin.
“For this, we offer our heartfelt apologies.”
The county board went on to describe McStay’s leadership as “nothing short of exemplary”, and wished both him and the extended management team the very best for the future.
