Mrs Erskine said,
“The GAA President Mr Burns has some cheek describing an investment in the proposed new A5 upgrade as a “GAA road”.
His comments are ill-founded and disgracefully tone deaf given the wider issues currently under consideration.
There is also a need to recognise that local farmers and their communities are being impacted and they need to be treated fairly as part of this process. Those communities have human rights. It is time the GAA stopped trying to impose their views as more important.
People will be flabbergasted at the behaviour and output from elements of the GAA. It must be and will be called out. It is the hard earned money of taxpayers that will pay for road infrastructure projects. No one person or entity can lay claim to a road.”
