They eventually resumed with their plans in November, with both clubs being represented by four executive members each; Curragh by Harry Quirke (President), Don O'Keeffe (Chairman), Con McNamara (a member of the original merger team) and Sean Hayes (a new member of the merger team) and Old Kilcullen by Ollie Delaney (President), Niall Kidd (Chairman), Rory O'Carroll (Secretary) and Kieran Mur ...
