Oral History

Seamus Regan

Seamus Regan begins by talking about his early days playing with Michael Glaveys GAA and how his and others’ disillusionment with that club led them to form Éire Óg GAA. He talks about the initial difficulties with the County Board and with his former club. He goes on to discuss his involvement in administration with the Northwest Board and the County Board and recalls a recent period of financial difficulty for the County Board. He then focuses on his career as a referee. He refers to the responsibilities and stresses of being an official and explains his occasional frustration at the role internal politics plays in the selection of referees and the association in general.
