New Limerick GAA chairman Seamus McNamara, right, is congratulated by out-going chairman John Cregan
FIVE new officers have been elected to the executive of Limerick GAA County Board for 2023.
The result of the postal vote was confirmed over the weekend ahead of Annual Convention next Monday evening, December 12.
Abbeyfeale man Seamus McNamara is the new Limerick GAA chairman. The Fr Caseys GAA clubman defeated Seamus Twomey for the top role.
McNamara replaces John Cregan, who had served his full five year term.
Cregan was one of six sitting officers, who had to depart their roles due to the ‘five year rule' - Chairman John Cregan, Assistant-Chairman Seamus McNamara, Treasurer Liam Bourke, Assistant-Treasurer Sean Burke, Assistant-Secretary Eamonn Phelan and PRO Hugh Murphy.
All bar Liam Bourke were nominated for different roles and four of the five were successful with Hugh Murphy departing as he was beaten to the Assistant-Secretary position by Mary Hassett of Ahane.
There wasn't an election for Liam Bourke's role of Treasurer with Sean Burke (Crecora-Manister) unopposed for the role - he was the out-going Assistant-Treasurer.
The new Assistant-Treasurer is former Football Committee chairman Gerry Phillips, who was elected ahead of Jim Enright.
With McNamara the new chairman, the new vice-chairman is another west Limerick man - Frank Reidy, who was elected ahead of Pat Davoren (Ballybrown) and Emmett O'Brien (Kilidmo-Pallaskenry).
The final position vacated was the role of PRO with former PRO Eamonn Phelan returning to the position after a five year absence - elected ahead of Aidan Ryan.
