Mick Mullen elected chairman of Kildare GAA
Larry Curtin takes over the role of vice-chair
Mick Mullen has been elected the new Chairman of Kildare GAA at the county convention held tonight (Wednesday 11 December 2024) at Cedral St Conleth's Park, Newbridge.
Mr Mullen takes over from outgoing chairman Mick Gorman who has served for the past five years.
At a packed convention, the Celbridge man had ten votes to spare (95 to 85) over former county player Bryan Murphy.
