Sean McCarthy one of our directors is a chairman of the 'Barrs minor section, a Tipperary man but we won't hold that against him. Michael Downey is a great Blarney man- another director of the company. We have also Ger White with Fr Brian Dillon's, so there is a great spread of GAA clubs within our own premises here.'
