GAA Rounders confirms that the Ard Chomhairle has passed a Motion of No Confidence in the Competitions Control Committee (CCC). This decision follows careful consideration of recent developments and concerns regarding the effective administration of our competitions.

The motion reflects Ard Chomhairle’s responsibility to uphold the highest standards of governance, transparency, and fairness within our sport. As a result, the CCC has been stood down with immediate effect.

A recent Competitions Control Committee (CCC) ruling on a formal complaint of alleged racism conflicted with a recommendation from GAA’s Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Officer, which advised imposing a 48-week ban on the individual involved.

This divergence did not align with the position of Ard Chomhairle, which fully supports the principles of inclusion and diversity within the GAA.

Following extensive efforts to resolve this matter and uphold the standards set by GAA’s Community & Health Department, Ard Chomhairle unanimously decided to stand down the CCC from their current role.

This decision reflects our commitment to ensuring that all players, officials, and volunteers feel respected and valued within GAA Rounders.

GAA Rounders remains firmly dedicated to promoting equality, inclusion, and respect across our sport. We welcome participants of all nationalities and backgrounds and will continue working to create an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and part of the GAA Rounders community.

We remain committed to transparency and welcome genuine queries via email to secretary.rounders@gaa.ie.
