Mick McGrath has vowed to give ‘commitment’, ‘hard work’ and ‘development’ after being elected as the new Donegal GAA Chairman tonight in Ballybofey.

The Ballyshannon man – pictured by Geraldine Diver – succeeded Sean Dunnion in the Chair at a low-key convention that was completed in just over two hours at Jackson’s Hotel.

“It is a great honour for me, my family and my club to be elected as County Board Chairman,” McGrath said in a quick address to delegates that lasted just 80 seconds.
