Tyrone’s GAA Chairman Pat Darcy has strongly denied reports that the county has failed to support Brian McGuigan during his current injury absence.
McGuigan suffered a serious leg break in in May and had to take six months off from work because of the injury.
Darcy said that the reports “lacked balance and “.
“Do you seriously believe we would stand idly by if one of our players was in distress as a consequence of an injury?” said Darcy.
The Tyrone chairman, who was speaking at his county’s annual , insisted that the county has a system in place for the welfare of injured players.
“The first step is to ensure proper medical treatment. If private care is the preferred option that’s what he gets.
“If the player chooses the NHS, that’s what he gets.
“Simultaneously, the player is asked to complete his insurance claim as soon as possible. The players is supported. We pay the associated physiotherapy and other costs.
“If a player needs time out from his employment we are willing to fund his employer the cost for a temporary replacement.
“Should a player experience financial difficulties as a result of his injury we support direct and indirect ways of raising money for his cause.
“In addition we have in place a players finance committee with player representation. Players are free to voice any concerns they may have on the system.”
