More GAA Shame

Reflects very badly on the GGA and Kilkenny GGA in particular.

The second half of this

I’d say Benis O’Drien won’t want to listen to that again.

Anyway it confirms my lifetime’s suspicion of teetotalers

Afraid of what they might say

He wouldn’t have that money to throw around.

[Spidey]

That’s what he told Dodger

[Malarkey]

Not true – as a point in the abstract.

Checked out this angle the other day with a solicitor friend. Gaining money from whomever by ‘false pretence’ is a criminal offence.

I make this observation in general, not as regards any particular case.

Are we any closer to finding out who this GAA personality is? I did hear some chat that he might be from Kilkenny and that he apparently tried to tap up Big Phil. Big Phil seemingly said, no problem, send me the bank details of the US hospital and Consultant and I’ll wire the money direct. That’s the last Big Phil heard of it. There’s no flies on Big Phil.

Province provided money to former GAA star at centre of fraud allegations

Ah, got ya.

Fuck sake.

Part of me thinks that this going to end tragically. (more tragic than it is already)

[myboyblue]

Clubs. He took money from clubs. Fuck sake. They’re bigger eejits but even still.

Any truth in the rumour that said individual has handed himself in and is currently residing in an institution for those of “diminished capacity”?

[myboyblue]

The cuts will keep coming

[peddlerscross]

I’d love to know when these payments were being made.

He was a KK Selector for all of 2020, was golfing with Mcilroy and Johnny Sexton at the Irish Pro Am in summer 2021 and then coached IT Carlow in winter 2021/22.

Doesnt leave much time to be faking trips to the US for treatment.

[Spidey]

Being spotted golfing in Ireland when supposed to be getting treatment in US is what alerted one donor to the fraud

Coincidentally his treatment in America happened around the time he lost property and had troubles with loans. 2015

[ChairmanDan]

Paddy is very gullible and a sucker for a sob story.

[FatChops]

A chair sniffer with your dedication is sure to get to the bottom of it.

[peddlerscross]

I have a very vague recollection of him saying in an interview before the 2017 Fitzgibbon Cup Weekend that he was over and back for treatment to the States but he was able to fit it in around the Fitzgibbon. If he only went looking for the money in 2021/2022, having been making up a story for years beforehand, its all kinds of odd.

I’m baffled by it all to be honest with you.

[iron_mike]

Im sure there’s an ex tipp player out there somewhere who can enlighten you as to how these scams work
