Resignation St. Patrick Day's Committee PRO

Ger Walsh today tendered his resignation as PRO from Gorey Town's St. Patrick's Day Committee after a somewhat incomprehensible altercation with an individual committee member who appeared to have assumed the Chair and proceeded to allude to recent newspaper articles in the Star Newspaper and elsewhere. The issue appeared to be that the Committee were not receiving the publicity that they felt appropriate.

Mr Walsh pointed out that he did indeed provide the newspapers with recent updates of the committee's activities, the fact that the papers choose not to publish articles was something that he could not have full control over. To satisfy this committee member, Mr Walsh returned home to retrieve recent correspondence that he had delivered to the papers pertaining to the St. Patrick's Day Committees activities.

He pointed out that several press releases had not been channelled through him, that this prevented the maximising of publicity opportunities and he was no longer prepared to put up with it. The fact that other articles appeared about him was not relevant and should not be relevant to the business of the St, Patrick's Day Committee. Furthermore the Committee would no longer be receiving any financial contribution from him towards their activities.
