Fermanagh GAA has said they have never received any “official complaints” regarding alleged domestic abuse.

The statement released this morning (Monday) comes following a viral social media post where Nicola Gallagher, wife of Rory Gallagher - from whom she is now separated - made harrowing allegations of domestic violence.

In an interview with Sunday Independent journalist, Rodney Edwards, Nicola insisted that the GAA were aware of allegations of domestic abuse by her husband, she said: “The GAA knew about all of this, 100 per cent, and the county boards of Fermanagh and Derry knew — because we told them. There were senior members of the GAA who knew what was going on, there are incidents that took place at GAA events. It was a well-known fact.”

Nicola claimed: “The family also raised their concerns with the Fermanagh County Board and told them too.”

In a statement released addressing the media coverage over the weekend, a spokesperson for Fermanagh GAA said: “While we will not make any comment on specific allegation or allegations, we can state that Fermanagh GAA has never received any official complaints.

“Fermanagh GAA does not condone any form of domestic abuse.

“We echo the words of Ulster GAA; we encourage and support anyone who has been a victim of such abuse not to suffer in silence but to avail of the statutory and voluntary support services that are available in the community.”

Fermanagh County Board were contacted to clarify what constituted an "official complaint" but they would not comment any further.
