A Fermanagh priest, who is a key figure in the Gaels Against Genocide campaign, has called on the Roman Catholic Church to end its connection with insurance giant Allianz.

Aghadrumsee-based Fr Gabriel Dolan claimed that the Church was spending an estimated £20m with the company.

This call follows several calls for the GAA to end its association with Allianz in a six-month campaign that has seen major protests at grounds all over the country as well as an ‘incursion’ by protestors to the GAA’s Annual Congress in February.

Fermanagh County Board are one of eleven counties who have called on the GAA to end the connection, but this was rejected by GAA bosses.
