Portlaoise Panthers Call For Special AGM On Future Of St. Mary's Hall

Tuesday, 15 February 2022 11:18

They took to the club's social media accounts to highlight their grievances.

Portlaoise Panthers have called for a Special AGM with all stakeholders of their home St. Mary's Hall to be convened as a matter of urgency. 

They're seeking representation in the running of the facility.

In a lengthy statement on social media, their executive detailed continuing issues with rent which costs in excess of €45,000 a year. 

They took to Facebook last night to share the letter, which you can read in full here:

A separate statement proceeded that open letter to Portlaoise parish which read:

The Panthers Executive Committee have written to the St Marys Sports Hall admin group, the Monseigneur Byrne and public representatives asking for a Special AGM to be convened as a matter of urgency.

As stakeholders of the Sports Hall, the Panthers have no representation in the running of the facility and there has been no public meetings, AGMs etc for a number of years, long before COVID.

As a community we need to return to the ethos that gave rise to the building of St Marys Hall and be part of a forward thinking committee with transparency and accountability along with the other stakeholders who use this facility. We will keep our members appraised on this issue over the next week.
